520    "Emerging in the 1850s, elocutionists recited poetry or 
       drama with music to create a new type of performance. The 
       genre--dominated by women--achieved remarkable popularity.
       Yet the elocutionists and their art fell into total 
       obscurity during the twentieth century. Marian Wilson 
       Kimber restores elocution with music to its rightful place
       in performance history. Gazing through the lenses of 
       gender and genre, Wilson Kimber argues that these female 
       artists transgressed the previous boundaries between 
       private and public domains. Their performances advocated 
       for female agency while also contributing to a new social 
       construction of gender. Elocutionists, proud purveyors of 
       wholesome entertainment, pointedly contrasted their 
       "acceptable" feminine attributes against those of morally 
       suspect actresses. As Wilson Kimber shows, their influence
       far outlived their heyday. Women, the primary composers of
       melodramatic compositions, did nothing less than create a 
       tradition that helped shape the history of American music"
