Description
A Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2022 Hearing southern women in the pauses of history Southern women of all classes, races, and walks of life practiced music during and after the Civil War. Candace L. Bailey examines the history of southern women through the lens of these musical pursuits, uncovering the ways that music's transmission, education, circulation, and repertory help us understand its meaning in the women's culture of the time. Bailey pays particular attention to the space between music as an ideal accomplishmentâ?"part of how people expected women to perform gentilityâ?"and a real practiceâ?"what women actually did. At the same time, her ethnographic reading of binderâ?Ts volumes, letters and diaries, and a wealth of other archival material informs new and vital interpretations of womenâ?Ts place in southern culture. A fascinating collective portrait of women's artistic and personal lives, Unbinding Gentility challenges entrenched assumptions about nineteenth century music and the experiences of the southern women who made it.
