"The Sculpted Ear evidences a long and rich history of sounding and hearing associated with the apparently silent art of sculpture. The book tackles important questions in sound studies, musicology, philosophy, and art history from a fresh perspective. The case studies to be found in each chapter provide new, fascinating information to the scholar of sound as well as intriguing new perspectives on the history of hearing."-James G. Mansell, author of The Age of Noise in Britain: Hearing Modernity "Within the field of historical sound studies, Ryan McCormack claims a forceful voice. He finds his own well-reasoned way between studies of sound as a physical phenomenon and studies of 'aural culture.'"-Bruce R. Smith, author of The Acoustic World of Early Modern England:Attending to the O-Factor
