Excerpt from Music and the Romantic Movement in France The study of the evolution of art and music in connection with contemporary social and political conditions has been urged on the ground that an understanding of the general life of any period is necessary to a svmpathetic understanding of the artistic production of that period. Some argue, on the other hand, that the study of art is, in fact, \a study of the history of man and that it illuminates the study of history rather than vice versa. The truth is that, in studying either art or history. Certain general causes appear which influence the development of both artistic and political ideas. Whatever we learn about these fundamental causes - whether in art or history - the knowledge we gain can always be helpful in unravelling any problems of art-development or of history that we try to solve.
