Mary Gladstone and the Victorian Salon: Music, Literature, Liberalism (New Perspectives in Music History and Criticism) by Phyllis Weliver
Requirements: .PDF reader, 7.7 MB
Overview: The daughter of one of Britain’s longest-serving Prime Ministers, Mary Gladstone was a notable musician, hostess of one of the most influential political salons in late-Victorian London, and probably the first female prime ministerial private secretary in Britain. Pivoting around Mary’s initiatives, this intellectual history draws on a trove of unpublished archival material that reveals for the first time the role of music in Victorian liberalism, explores its intersections with literature, recovers what the high Victorian salon was within a wider cultural history, and shows Mary’s influence on her father’s work.
