I am posting this list here so that I don’t need to share the original Word document – and it saves clicking on yet another link!

Women Composers of the Georgian Era

NB This list is compiled from the author index of Michael Kassler, Music Entries at Stationers’ Hall, 1710-1818, with additional names gleaned from the copyright music catalogued online at the University of St Andrews as at 2016. Researchers should cross-refer between Kassler and Jisc Library Hub Discover, to ensure that works post-1818 are also represented, and to eliminate any names which may have other than strictly authorial responsibility for the works cited.
