This Woman's Work: Women as Agents of Musical Circulation in Early Modern Europe

我的研究探讨了女性在15和16世纪音乐文化的国际传播中的作用，特别是女性之间的关系如何鼓励英格兰和大陆之间的音乐联系。女性是如何参与音乐的制作和传播的，她们又是如何促进或颠覆她们自己的音乐遗产的？近代早期英国动荡的政治局势如何影响女性之间的音乐交流？尽管现有的大量学术研究已经探讨了这一时期女性赞助人对西欧音乐的贡献，但很少有人关注女性作为国际音乐对话的参与者。

My research explores the role of women in the international transmission of musical culture in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and particularly how relationships between women encouraged musical links between England and the continental mainland. How did women participate in the production and dissemination of music, and how did they act to promote or subvert their own musical heritage? How did the turbulent political situation of early modern England impact musical exchanges between women? Although an extensive body of existing scholarship has explored the contribution of female patronage to Western European music of this period, there has been little attention paid to women as participants in international music dialogues.
