Women and Music in the Age of Austen highlights the central role
women played in musical performance, composition, reception, and
representation, and analyzes its formative and lasting effect on
Georgian culture. This interdisciplinary collection of essays from
musicology, literary studies, and gender studies challenges the
conventional historical categories that marginalize women’s
experience from Austen’s time. Contesting the distinctions
between professional and amateur musicians, public and domestic
sites of musical production, and performers and composers of music,
the contributors reveal how women’s widespread involvement in the
Georgian musical scene allowed for self-expression, artistic
influence, and access to communities that transcended the
boundaries of gender, class, and nationality. This volume’s
breadth of focus advances our understanding of a period that
witnessed a musical flourishing, much of it animated by female
hands and voices. Published by Bucknell University Press.
