“No Musick’s better than the Winds do make”: Soundscapes in seventeenth-century women’s writings
Supervisors: Mark Jenner and Emilie Murphy
Research
Research
My research, funded by CONACyT, will examine how seventeenth-century women engaged with their soundscapes mainly through poetic forms. Through an interdisciplinary perspective - history, literature and music - my thesis aims to show how sounds can illuminate the way historical individuals interacted with their bodies, the natural world and society, and explore the relationship between sound and emotions beyond a strictly musical context.
