Bailey pays particular attention to the space between music as an ideal accomplishmentpart of how people expected women to perform gentilityand a real practicewhat women actually did. At the same time, her ethnographic reading of binders volumes, letters and diaries, and a wealth of other archival material informs new and vital interpretations of womens place in southern culture.

Acknowledgments

Unbinding Gentility: Women Making Music in the Nineteenth-Century South has been a long time in the making, and throughout the process I have been honored with support from a wide-ranging body of people and organizations. Over the years that I have spent traipsing through archives, libraries, historic estates, antique bookstores, private collections, and online booksellers, I have been assisted by wonderful people whose generosity frequently extended well beyond what their positions required. Without them, this book would be incomplete. Space prohibits naming them all, but a few deserve special recognition. Lucinda Cockrell (Center for Popular Music at MTSU), Diane Steinhaus (Music Library at UNC), Germain Bienvenue and Tara Laver (Hill Collection, LSU), and Jennifer McCormick (Charleston Museum) allowed me unfettered access to materials in their collections, and this has meant so much to the end product, for as of yet no standard method exists for cataloguing this repertory. The uncatalogued or simply boxed materials put at my disposal at the Georgia Historical Society, the Athenaeum (Columbia, Tennessee), the Houghton (Harvard), and other places have yielded treasure troves of information concerning the lives of women in the South. Paul Allen Sommerfield at the Library of Congress has assisted me in locating materials there, both in research trips and online. I owe special gratitude to Andrea Cawelti (Houghton Library, Harvard and Sheet Music Consortium) for her ineffable support, advice, and direction.
