Reviews

'… offers a crucial contribution to conversations in both Victorian studies and queer musicology about the relationships among aesthetics, erotics, embodiment, and subjectivity. Riddell invites readers in both fields to reimagine music not as a utopian source of identity affirmation, but rather as a “startlingly antihumanist” force that fosters a range of complex, difficult, and often disturbing affects and experiences (51).' Shannon Draucker, Nineteenth-Century Gender Studies
