This #PrideMonth, explore how queer writers helped shape the way we understand music history. 🏳️‍🌈 "Imagining Musical Pasts" (@livunipress.bsky.social) looks at queer writings on opera & symphonic music from 1880–1935. It's open access as part of our Path to Open program. Read: bit.ly/4eorKe2
Book cover for Imagining Musical Pasts: The Queer Literary Musicology of Vernon Lee, Rosa Newmarch, and Edward Prime-Stevenson by Kristin M. Franseen. The cover features an impressionistic painting of an orchestra performance viewed from the audience, with musicians, music stands, and dramatic movement rendered in blurred brushstrokes. In the foreground, audience members sit in theater seats while a conductor stands before the orchestra. The title appears in large cream-colored text against a dark, atmospheric background with shades of purple, blue, red, and black.

Due scrittrici, due protagoniste, un'unica partita: quella dell'emancipazione femminile dal giudizio dei "grandi maestri" dell'arte del romanzo. Woolson e Vernon Lee raccontano il prezzo della visibilità letteraria per le donne a fine Ottocento.
