Public Religious Disputation in England, 1558–1626 by Joshua Rodda (review)

can ‘function as a barometer of social and cultural tensions in given historical contexts’ (p. 362). Finally, in the last essay in the volume, Linda Phyllis Austern considers interdisciplinary research in the field of gender and music. The presence of music at all levels of cultural, social, and political life combined with the necessarily embodied nature of the acquisition of musical skills, musical performance, and the frequently gendered contexts of performance provide a rich matrix for generating new understandings of the gendered dimensions of intellectual, social, and political life. Scholarship on gender and music has introduced secular and religious female composers to the early modern musical canon and modern repertoire, furnished nuanced understandings of the reception of musical performance according to the social status and gender of the performer, audience, and patron, and explored the influence of the classical and Christian traditions on representations of music and musicians in art, poetry, and literature. A few works published after the Companion that can be added to an essential bibliography of early modern women include: three bilingual critical editions, Julia Hairston, The Poems and Letters of Tullia d’Aragona and Others (CRRS, 2014); Pere Torrellas and Juan de Flores, Three Spanish ‘Querelle’ Texts: Grisel and Mirabella, The Slander against Women, and The Defense of Ladies against Slanderers, ed. Emily C. Francomano (CRRS, 2013); Virginia Cox, Lyric Poetry by Women of the Italian Renaissance (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2013); and Adelina Modesti’s monograph Elisabetta Sirani ‘Virtuosa’: Women’s Cultural Production in Early Modern Bologna (Brepols, 2015).
