Eroticism in Early Modern Music (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This collection contributes to a small but significant literature on music, sexuality, and sex in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe. Contributors employ a variety of different approaches to the repertoire: musical and visual analysis; archival and cultural history; gender studies; philology; and performance. By confronting musical, literary, and visual sources with historically situated analyses, the book shows how erotic life and sensibilities were encoded in musical works. It will be of value to scholars of early modern European history and culture, and more widely to a readership interested in the history of eroticism and sexuality.
