520 8  This study analyzes representations of music in fiction, 
       drama and poetry as well as normative texts in order to 
       contribute to a gendered cultural history of domestic 
       performance. From the Tudors to the First World War, 
       playing the harpsichord or piano was an indispensable 
       asset of any potential bride, and education manuals as 
       well as courtship plots and love poems pay homage to this 
       social function of music. The Gaze of the Listener charts 
       the fundamental tension which determines all these texts: 
       while music is warmly recommended in conduct books and 
       provides standard metaphors like?concord? and?harmony? for
       virtuous love, a profound anxiety about its sensuous 
       inarticulateness and implicit femininity unsettles all 
       descriptions of actual music-making. Along with repressive
       plot lines, the privileging of visual perception over 
       musical appreciation is the most telling indicator of this
       problem. The Gaze of the Listener is the first coherent 
       account of this discourse and its historical continuity 
       from the Elizabethan to the Edwardian period and provides 
       a significant background for more narrowly focused 
       research. Its uniquely wide database contextualizes 
       numerous?minor? works with classics without limiting 
       itself to the fringe phenomenon of?musician novels?. 
       Including a fresh account of the novels of Jane Austen in 
       their contemporary (rather than Victorian) context, the 
       book is of interest to scholars and students in gender 
       studies, English literature, cultural studies and 
       musicology.
