In her study of music-making in the Edwardian novel, Cecilia Björkén-Nyberg examines works by authors such as Dorothy Richardson, E.M. Forster, Henry Handel Richardson, and Compton Mackenzie to show that the invention and development of the player piano had a significant effect on the perception, performance and appreciation of music during the period. She draws on archival materials to place the player piano in the context of Edwardian commercial and technical discourse.
