The Idea of Music in Victorian Fiction (working title)
edited by Nicky Losseff and Sophie Fuller
We are looking for proposals for essays to be included in this
collection on musical representation in Victorian British fiction.
Essays on the following topics would be welcome:
representations of instrumental practice;
aspects of gender, sexuality, race, religion, class in relation to music
making, musical taste, performance spaces and situations;
musical style as wordless communicant;
educational practices;
issues surrounding nationalism;
philosophical issues;
medical issues;
the interaction between fiction and 'real-life' situations (disguised
representations of living composers or performers in fictional contexts,
for instance).
But other topics will also be considered, as long as they focus on some
interpretative aspect of fictional representation(s) of music.
It is not anticipated that the collection will include essays about opera
libretti or about settings of Victorian texts by composers or essays which
principally describe novels with musical themes. However, short
contributions which do not fall strictly into the categories described and
which may not be considered 'scholarly' in the usual sense of the word are
encouraged. Submissions are encouraged from both musicologists and
literary scholars.
Proposals should be sent to both the book's editors (nl5@york.ac.uk and
sophie@full.demon.co.uk) by 1 September 2000. If proposals are accepted,
the deadline for submission of articles will be 1 September 2001.
