Eroticism in Early Modern Music

Rezensionen / Stimmen

Winner of the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women (SSEWM) award for the best collaborative project on women and gender, 2015.

'This eye-opening collection, long and eagerly awaited, helps clarify why musicians enjoyed such a bad reputation for so long (and in some cases deserved it). Its diverse and impressive scholarship, often amusing and arcane, prompts readers to rehear and rethink a broad range of "early music", both familiar and unfamiliar, and tempts them perhaps even to perform some of it (in the privacy of their own homes).'
