"Christopher N. Phillips' The Hymnbook offers the first extended historical treatment of the hymn as a read text, rather than one used solely for singing. His book demonstrates the ways that hymnbooks were used for individual expression and even the forming of corporate identity. He reframes the history of children's literature by placing the bestselling genre of children's hymnbooks at the center and offers new evidence from the Dickinson family's reading and worship practices to show how authors like Emily Dickinson used hymns to make poems. Phillips presents a longer history of devotional reading that informed the rise of hymnbook culture in the early eighteenth century and approaches the hymnbook as a media form nearly as ubiquitous as the almanac, as well as an object that shared its life with its owners and users" -- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Regretfully, the research is pretty limited to New England and the East Coast, and with little discussion about non-English hymnals from the mid-western or southern areas, especially in the German and Scandinavian languages, nor hymnals developed for Native Americans such as the Sioux or Cherokee languages.
However, within these parameters, this book does a good job in showing how hymnals developed from books of poetry with little printed musical notation, to the more robust service books used today. A side investigation correlates the development on indices in hymnals, that went further than just the subject, title and composer, but also to first lines of text.
The style of the book is pedantic and the reading is slow. But the book is recommended for seminary libraries, and for people interested in church music, choirs and the development of protestant church services evolution over several hundred years. ( )
