DESCRIPTION:Esquisses is a lunch-time series of works-in-progress by resear
 chers at McGill.\n\nEvidence can occupy an uncomfortable place in queer hi
 stories. Archival sources are often missing\, censored\, or incomplete\, o
 r reflective of the archival priorities and frameworks of oppressive socia
 l systems. Within musicology\, social history\, and other historical field
 s\, queer scholarship is still all too frequently accused of “misreading” 
 primary sources anachronistically\, with the assumption that queer reading
 s are merely a recent political and/or cultural phenomenon that has little
  bearing on earlier people and contexts.\n\nThis presentation considers th
 e presence\, absence\, and use of musical and historical evidence in the e
 arly twentieth-century writings of Rosa Newmarch (1857-1940) and Edward Pr
 ime-Stevenson (1858-1942). Newmarch\, a British Tchaikovsky scholar\, and 
 Prime-Stevenson\, a US expatriate music critic turned sexologist\, were bo
 th deeply concerned with the ways popular gossip about 18th- and 19th-cent
 ury composers interacted with more documented sources of musical knowledge
 . Their works\, while sometimes in conflict\, reflect a nuanced engagement
  with evidence\, missing sources\, and issues of queer musical biography. 
 In this talk\, I will explore a few key examples of ambiguous evidence and
  creative interpretation in Newmarch’s and Prime-Stevenson’s scholarly app
 roaches\, consider how their writings were and are read as musicology and 
 queer history\, and suggest some further avenues for exploring “strange” o
 r “eccentric” sources in unconventional ways.\n
