The Routledge Handbook of Pink Floyd is intended for scholars and researchers of popular music,  as well as music industry professionals and fans of the band. It brings together international  researchers to assess, evaluate and reformulate approaches to the critical study and interpretation  of one of the world’s most important and successful bands. For the first time, this Handbook  will ‘tear down the wall,’ examining the band’s collective artistic creations and the influence  of social, technological, commercial and political environments over several decades on their  work. Divided into five parts, the book provides a thoroughly contextualised overview of the  musical works of Pink Floyd, including coverage of performance and sound; media, reception  and fandom; genre; periods of Pink Floyd’s work; and aesthetics and subjectivity. Drawing  on art, design, performance, culture and counterculture, emergent theoretical resources and  analytical frames are evaluated and discussed from across the social sciences, humanities and  creative arts. The Handbook is intended for scholars and researchers of popular music, as well  as music industry professionals. It will appeal across a range of related subjects from music  production to cultural studies and media/communication studies.
