The Music in Britain series provides a forum for the best new work in the field of British music studies. The books place music from the early seventeenth to the twenty-first centuries in its social, cultural, and historical contexts.

From organ building in Georgian and Victorian England, to exploring music in the North-East, to taking a tour of the music scene in Edwardian London, the series celebrates the vitality and diversity of music-making across Britain in whatever form it took and wherever it was found.
