Symétrie announces the publication of Musique, art et religion dans l’entre-deux-guerres (Music, the arts and religion in the inter-war period), a collection of essays edited by Sylvain Caron and Michel Duchesneau.

How do religion, “neo” trends and modernism manifest themselves in music and art during the inter-war period? This book engages with the complex question of the place of religion in the ideas and the arts, more particularly music, produced between the First and Second World Wars. This period of great upheavals saw a progressive withdrawal of the Church from both public and private spheres without preventing artists and musicians from proclaiming their faith through their art or from seeking to rebuild a Catholic culture under a new guise.
