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. 588 0 Print version record. 600 10 Austen, Jane,|d1775-1817|xKnowledge|xMusic. 600 10 Shakespeare, William,|d1564-1616|xKnowledge|xMusic. 600 10 Austen, Jane,|d1775-1817|vMusic|xKnowledge. 600 17 Austen, Jane,|d1775-1817.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00032929 600 17 Shakespeare, William,|d1564-1616.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00029048 648 7 1600-1899|2fast 650 0 Music and literature|xHistory|y17th century. 650 0 Music and literature|xHistory|y18th century. 650 0 Music and literature|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Music|xSocial aspects|zGreat Britain. 650 0 Music in literature. 650 7 TRAVEL|xSpecial Interest|xLiterary.|2bisacsh 650 7 LITERARY CRITICISM|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 Art.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00815177 650 7 Music and literature.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01030479 650 7 Music in literature.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01030552 650 7 Music|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01030444 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Music.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423855 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHohl Trillini, Regula.|tGaze of the listener.|dAmsterdam : Rodopi, 2008|z9789042024892 |z9042024895|w(OCoLC)298777211 830 0 Word and music studies ;|v10. 914 ocn316327933 994 93|bGTK
