Led by the iconic Ian Curtis, Joy Division remains one of the most influential bands to emerge in the British Post-Punk Scene. In spite of Joy Divisions relatively short existence, their unique sound and distinct iconography have had a lasting impact on music fans and performers alike. This book disassembles the bands contribution to rock music.

Based on up-to-date original research,Heart And Soul brings together established and newly emerging scholars who provide detailed examinations the many layers of this multi-faceted and influential band and their singer, the late Ian Curtis, in particular. Given Joy Divisions complexities, the book draws upon a wide range of academic disciplines and approaches in order to make sense of this influential band.
