| Abstract |
These volumes contain essays arising from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd biennial Music in Nineteenth-Century Britain conference. Like the conferences, these volumes seek to expand and reassess our current knowledge of musical life in Britain during the nineteenth century, as well as to challenge the preconceptions of earlier attitudes and scholarship. The volumes cover a cohesive range of subjects and materials including aspects of gender, church music, national identity, and local and national institutions. These essays illustrate that while nineteenth-century British music studies is still in its infancy as a field of research, it is one that is burgeoning and contributing to our understanding of British social and cultural life of the period. |
