Innovative and collaborative in its approach, this volume engages with the question of how gender informed song within particular textual, social and spatial contexts in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. In its attention to the gendering of song and the gendered processes and spaces of song's circulation and reception. 'Leslie Dunn and Katherine Larson have assembled a most interesting volume that approaches the topic of song in early modern England through a unique interdisciplinary lens that crosses an expanse of time and space. Its wide-ranging perspective, made possible by the contributions from scholars in several different fields, makes for an articulate and important contribution to the scholarship in all the areas it touches: gender and cultural studies, musicology, and early modern literature and language.'
