- Summary:
- Burney (1755-1800), the daughter of music historian Charles Burney, grew up in London, interacted with the many musicians and artists who visited the family home, and developed a considerable knowledge and enthusiasm for music, especially opera. Olleson (emeritus, historical musicology, U. of Nottingham, UK) explores her writings, finding a wealth of insight and information of interest to social historians of England and Ireland and scholars of women, the family, and music.
