The Routledge Companion to Music, Autoethnography, and Reflexivity represents a substantial contribution to the field of writing reflexively about an individual’s practice within music studies. In seven sections, 22 original chapters by a diverse set of contributors consider writing about personal activities from the points of view of performance, composition, musicology, and pedagogy, drawing on a range of traditions from Western art-music to popular music to ethnomusicology. A robust critical framework is presented, with coverage of:historical and critical perspectivesdifferent methodologies and their ascendancy within the academyleading debates, issues, and approachesfuture directionsThe Companion cultivates new modes of engagement in music research, enabling scholars and practitioners at all levels to identify and articulate their relationship to the wider sociocultural contexts in which they operate.

This collection of essays explores the myriad ways in which the women’s suffrage movement in Britain in the nineteenth century and twentieth century engaged with and was expressed through literature, art and craft, music, drama and cinema.Uniquely, this anthology places developments in the constituent arts side by side, and in dialogue, rather than focusing on a single field in isolation. In so doing, it illustrates how creative endeavours in different artforms converged in support of women’s suffrage. Topics encompassed range from the artistic output of such household names as Sylvia Pankhurst and Ethel Smyth, to the recent feature film Suffragette. It also brings to light under-represented figures and neglected works related to the suffrage movement. A wide variety of material is explored, from poems, diaries and newspapers to posters, dress and artefacts to songs, opera, plays and film.Published in the wake of the centenary of many women receiving the parliamentary vote in the UK, this book will appeal to scholars, undergraduate and graduate students, and members of the public interested in the broad areas of women’s history and the women’s suffrage movement, as well as across the arts disciplines.
