This interdisciplinary study, situated at the cross-section of music, literature and gender, examines the woman singer and her song as a literary motif in French and German prose fiction from the 1790s to the mid-nineteenth century. The book offers a fresh perspective on canonical singer archetypes as well as considering lesser-known narratives.
