The Singing Bourgeois: Songs of the Victorian

First published in 1989, The Singing Bourgeois challenges the myth that the 'Victorian parlour song' was a clear-cut genre. Derek Scott reveals the huge diversity of musical forms and styles that influenced the songs performed in middle class homes during the nineteenth century. This new updated edition features an additional chapter which provides a broad survey of music and class in London, a new comprehensive bibliography and an accompanying CD of songs from the period.

Derek B. Scott is Professor and Chair of Music at the University of Salford, Manchester.
