Opis

Sounding Feminine traces the development of attitudes towards the female voice that have decisively shaped modern British society and culture, examining how the responses of late 18th- and early 19th-century audiences to the sounds of women's singing exposed the intricate links between gender, nationality, class, and religion in a pivotal era of change.

Recenzje

David Kennerley's Sounding Feminine offers us a new, and exciting way of thinking about crucial questions of constructions of gender and music in the early Victorian period. It is a deeply informed, carefully researched, and engaging book and will be a very welcome addition to the field.
