Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving beyond narratives of female suppression, and exploring the critical potential of a diverse, distinguished repertoire, this Companion transforms received understanding of women composers. Organised thematically, and ranging beyond elite, Western genres, it explores the work of diverse female composers from medieval to modern times, besides the familiar headline names. The book's prologue traces the development of scholarship on women composers over the past five decades and the category of 'woman composer' itself. The chapters that follow reveal scenes of flourishing creativity, technical innovation, and (often fleeting) recognition, challenging long-held notions around invisibility and neglect and dismissing clichés about women composers and their work. Leading scholars trace shifting ideas about composers and compositional processes, contributing to a wider understanding of how composers have functioned in history and making this volume essential reading for all students of musical history. In an epilogue, three contemporary composers reflect on their careers and identities.

In the seventeenth century, after an almost complete silence1 of five hundred years since the time of the pious Ava, women began again to play an important part in the creation of German literature. Naturally enough the new actors were received with applause as a pleasant diversion. The public had become weary, in the masculine century just passed, of having its attention constantly called to feminine faults. It welcomed the refining influence of woman. The satirists, especially Lauremberg and Rachel, made merry of course at the expense of the poetizing ladies. They insisted that a woman's place was in the kitchen and beside the cradle, and that the pen and beard belonged to the man alone. But they were in the minority. At almost all the courts in Germany were found noble ladies1 who indulged in literary work of some sort, and under their protection other women found it possible to assert themselves. They were soon invited to membership in some of the literary societies8 which were prominent at the time. To the surprise of a few people, women were found worthy even of the imperial laurel wreath.4 Anna Maria von Schurmann6 aroused astonished admiration as one of the wonders of the world on account of her learning and her 1 In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries there were, to be sure, some mystical writers who were women: Mechtild von Magdeburg, Adelheid Langmann, Christina Ebnerin, and others.

Download or read book Women Writers of the Renaissance and Reformation written by Katharina M. Wilson and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dawn of humanism in the Renaissance presented privileged women with great opportunities for personal and intellectual growth. Sexual and social roles still determined the extent to which a woman could pursue education and intellectual accomplishment, but it was possible through the composition of poetry or prose to temporarily offset hierarchies of gender, to become equal to men in the act of creation. Edited by Katharina M. Wilson, this anthology introduces the works of twenty-five women writers of the Renaissance and Reformation, among them Marie Dentière, a Swiss evangelical reformer whose writings were so successful they were banned during her lifetime; Gaspara Stampa, a cultivated courtesan of Venetian aristocratic circles who wrote lyric poetry that has earned her comparisons to Michelangelo and Tasso; Hélisenne de Crenne, a French aristocrat who embodied the true spirit of the Renaissance feminist, writing both as novelist and as champion of her sex; Helene Kottanner, Austrian chambermaid to Queen Elizabeth of Hungary whose memoirs recall her daring theft of the Holy Crown of Saint Stephen for her esteemed mistress; and Lady Mary Sidney Wroth, the first Englishwoman known to write a full-length work of fiction and compose a significant body of secular poetry. Offering a seldom seen counterpoint to literature written by men, Women Writers of the Renaissance and Reformation presents prose and poetry that have never before appeared in English, as well as writings that have rarely been available to the nonspecialist. The women whose writings are included here are united by a keen awareness of the social limitations placed upon their creative potential, of the strained relationship between their gender and their work. This concern invests their writings with a distinctive voice--one that carries the echoes of a male aesthetic while boldly declaring battle against it.
