Imagining Musical Pasts explores the complicated archive of sources, interpretations, and people present in queer writings on opera and symphonic music from ca. 1880-1935. It focuses primarily on the work of three turn-of-the-twentieth-century music scholars―philosopher and horror writer Vernon Lee (pseud. Violet Paget), biographer and program note annotator Rosa Newmarch, and critic and amateur sexologist Edward Prime-Stevenson. Each of the three major sections of the book is organized according to the authorial personae each author adopted in their creative and scholarly work. These categories reflect the particular intellectual commitments of each figure: Lee's fascination with the failure of written documentation to fully capture the "ghosts" of past musical experience, Newmarch's reliance on documentary evidence to reveal some of her subject's secrets and her stated discomfort with the role of the biographer, and Prime-Stevenson's nostalgic use of repetition, revision, and dedication to "return" to the 1890s decades after the fact. By reframing these ways of knowing as central to each scholar's individual approach to constructing and interpreting musical and sexual knowledge, the book draws attention to aspects of their work previously neglected or considered only in isolation.
