The Voice of Virtue. Moral Song and the Practice of French Stoicism, 1574-1652, Hardback/***

The Voice of Virtue illuminates the musical practices at the heart of the Neostoic movement that spread across French lands during the Wars of Religion in the latter half of the sixteenth century, revealing that virtue-as voiced in these Stoic practices-proves to be both rational and fully invested in the sensory processes of the singing body.
