| Abstract |
"Imagining Musical Pasts considers the ways early twentieth-century musicologists Vernon Lee, Rosa Newmarch, and Edward Prime-Stevenson approached gender and sexuality in their scholarly and creative work. This book explores the place of musicology as literature, as well as the role of gossip and speculation in constructing queer music histories"-- Provided by publisher. |
