| Abstract | Addressing Western and non-Western music, composers from Francesca Caccini to Charles Ives, and musical communities from twelfth-century monks to contemporary opera queens, these essays explore questions of gender and sexuality. This book brings together some of the freshest and most challenging voices in musicology today on a question of importance to all the humanistic disciplines. |
