Early 19th-century British music publishers produced a vast amount of sheet music aimed principally at amateur female performers. Music was the most important of the 'accomplishments', the suite of feminine skills cultivated as signs of gentility and taste. The prominence of music in the fabric of women's lives has drawn much scholarly attention, but as yet we know relatively little about historical women's use of music (as opposed to its literary or artistic representation), particularly about the acts of selection and individuation that informed their interaction with music producers. This project aims to address these questions through a study of c. 100 volumes of printed sheet music compiled into personalised albums between 1790 and 1860 for specific amateur female performers, including Jane Austen and Elizabeth Gaskell as well as less famous contemporaries.

19世纪初，英国音乐出版商制作了大量的乐谱，主要针对业余女性表演者。音乐是“成就”中最重要的，这是一套女性技能，作为绅士和品味的标志而培养出来的。音乐在女性生活结构中的重要性引起了许多学术关注，但迄今为止，我们对历史上女性对音乐的使用(相对于其文学或艺术表现)知之甚少，特别是关于影响她们与音乐制作人互动的选择和个性化行为。这个项目旨在通过研究1790年至1860年间汇编成个性化专辑的约100卷印刷乐谱来解决这些问题，这些专辑是为特定的业余女性表演者，包括简·奥斯汀和伊丽莎白·加斯克尔以及不太著名的同时代人准备的。
