Ragtime, the jaunty, toe-tapping music that captivated American society from the 1890s through World War I, forms the roots of America's popular musical expression. But the understanding of ragtime and its era has been clouded by a history of murky impressions, half-truths, and inventive fictions. Ragtime: A Musical and Cultural History cuts through the murkiness. A methodical survey of thousands of rags along with an examination of then-contemporary opinions in magazines and newspapers demonstrate how the music evolved and how America responded to it. "The most complete available discussion of ragtime" (Floyd & Reisser, Black Music in the United States).

"Over a thousand ragtime compositions and related musical genres, and hundreds of written commentaries in popular and specialized literature reveal in a scrupuloulsy documented study what ragtime was and what it represented to the age that created and nurtured it. The music's evolution is precisely delineated within the musical and aesthetic context of the times, and an exhaustive study is made of the music's reflection of society and reaction upon it in an America still self-consciously striving for cultural identity." from the jacket flap.
