Abstract

Those chary of the Victorian novel should not be misled by the title of Phyllis Weliver's Women Musicians in Victorian Fiction, for her book is about much more than novelistic fiction. Rather, it is an ambitious and wide-ranging study that explores the intersections between nineteenth-century discourses of science, gender, and narrative fiction, with music being the knot in that nexus. Indeed, it is the pivotal presence that music assumes in these other fictions that is the book's great insight.
