Reviews

'... she fully succeeds in achieving her aim, which is to uncover some neglected works and place them in the context of early twentieth-century British music . Seddon is to be commended for focusing on several composers who have been overshadowed by the dominance of Smyth. Her highly detailed and well researched study of the Society of Women Musicians, for which she includes detailed appendices listing SWM members through 1920, a comprehensive list of instrumental chamber works composed by women between 1905 and 1920, as well as an excerpt from Katherine Eggar's address for the society's inaugural meeting, is substantial in breadth, and is highly recommended reading for anyone interested in the institution's history'.
