Phyllis Weliver examines the reasons for this shift in her investigation of representations of female musicians in Victorian fiction from 1860-1900. Focusing on changing gender roles, musical practices and the framing of both of these in scientific discourses, the book explores how fictional notions of women musicians diverged from actual trends in music making.
