Music in the Worlds of Joss Whedon
Edited by Kendra Preston Leonard
When writer and director Joss Whedon created the character Buffy the Vampire Slayer, he could hardly have expected the resulting academic interest in his work.This contributed volume explores the significant role that music plays in the works of Joss Whedon, investigating the uses and meaning of music and sound in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Serenity, and Whedon’s latest work, the internet musical Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.The essays investigate both diegetic and non-diegetic music, considering music from various sources, including the shows’ original scores, music performed by the characters themselves, and music contributed by such artists as Michelle Branch,The Sex Pistols, and Sarah McLachlan, as well as classical composers like Camille Saint-Saëns and Johannes Brahms.
Kendra Preston Leonard is the author of The Conservatoire Américan: A History (Scarecrow, 2007) and Shakespeare, Madness, and Music: Scoring Insanity in Cinematic Adaptations (Scarecrow, 2009).

EBOOK

This book argues that women singersongwriters formed a substantial movement within popular music during the 1990s, making a significant social and aesthetic contribution that pushed feminism into mainstream American culture.The book provides an overview of the movement with detailed analyses of the music of Alanis Morissette, PJ Harvey, Courtney Love, Liz Phair,Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, and Sheryl Crow. Lankford focuses on the exploration of women’s issues within the music, examining how the music’s feminist content was able to filter into the popular culture.The book includes a select discography of albums and singles, including their placement and number of weeks spent on various charts, as well as a complete bibliography and index.
