Professor Christopher Page, the Gresham Professor of Music, presents a short example from his upcoming lecture series on the Guitar in the 19th Century: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-guitar-and-the-fair-sex The guitar, being a light, curvaceous and softly voiced instrument, was easily associated by the censorious, not always males, with the most vapid aspects of young female minds raised on restricted mental food or with an art of licensed seduction necessary for making successful marriages. Christopher Page is the Gresham Professor of Music. Information on his ongoing series of free public lectures is available here: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/men-women-and-guitars-in-romantic-england More information on Professor Christopher Page can be found here: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/professors-and-speakers/professor-christopher-page Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
