Description

Over the first half of the nineteenth century, writers like Austen and Bronte confined their critiques to satirical portrayals of women musicians.

Later, however, a marked shift occurred with the introduction of musical female characters where were positively to be feared.

First published in 2000, this book examines the reasons for this shift in representations of female musicians in Victorian fiction from 1860-1900.

Focusing on changing gender roles, musical practices and the framing of both of these scientific discourses, the book explores how fictional notions of female musicians diverged from actual trends in music making.

This book will be of interest to those studying nineteenth century literature and music.
