Women and Music in the Age of Austen

Beschreibung

Women and Music in the Age of Austen highlights women’s central role in musical performance, composition, reception, and representation, and analyzes their formative and lasting effect upon Georgian culture. This interdisciplinary collection of essays reveals how music allowed for women’s self-expression, artistic influence, and access to communities that transcended the boundaries of gender, class, and nationality.
