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.

Recenzijas

"Extends far beyond Jane Austen in well-presented, insightful essays. . . . Highly recommended." * Choice * "Throughout this collection, we see women moving across the continuum and the degrees of resistance they encountered: from practicing alone before breakfast, as we know Austen did, through playing as part of a large social event that might also include performances by professional musicians, to appearing on the concert and opera stage and supporting themselves professionally...The scholarly endnotes for each essay and the bibliography provide many fascinating paths for those who wish to explore further." * Jane Austen Society of North America News * Women and Music in the Age of Austen offers an expansive, lively, colourful view of the gendered musical practices of the eighteenth century and the Romantic period. These essays enrich our knowledge of the musical world of Jane Austen and Frances Burney while shining a spotlight on little-known female performers, critics, composers, consumers, collectors, fans, and musical entrepreneurs of the preceding decades. -- Angela Esterhammer * author of Print and Performance in the 1820s: Improvisation, Speculation, Identity * Finding inspiration in a broad range of sources, the volume reflects on women and their musical activities in Georgian England. A focus on Jane Austen and her novels moves in and out of the picture, amplified and receding against historical figures known and unknown. Through these essays by musically-informed literary scholars and musicologists, readers get a sense of the possibilities and desires of women engaged with music over a historical period that brackets the life of our beloved Jane. -- Maribeth Clark * coeditor of Musicology and Dance: Historical and Critical Perspectives * Music was important to Jane Austen, as her novels and letters attest, and women played a hitherto undervalued part in the musical world of her time. This sparkling and substantial collection of interdisciplinary essays illuminates Austens fiction and her age in many original and surprising ways. -- Peter Sabor * coeditor of Jane Austen's Manuscript Works *
