- 요약Most scholarship on post-secondary institutions of music education foregrounds individual administrators, funding, and facilities. In this dissertation on London's Royal College of Music (hereafter RCM) during the interwar period, I flip that perspective to bring the RCM's largest student cohort - women, who from the outset outnumbered their male counterparts, yet rarely became professional musicians - into focus.Two introductory chapters provide context for my historiographical approach and to the position of the RCM in the history of post-secondary music education. From there four additional chapters, drawing on largely unknown primary sources such as the RCM Scholar Register, document student life in each interwar decade, alternating with microhistories that detail the lives of a selection of women who pursued composition as a primary or secondary focus during their time at the RCM. Through close readings of primary sources, including contemporary newspapers, census documents, institutional archives, and personal interviews, I document the previously unexplored musical lives of Mary Ellen Gilson (1905-?), Helen Hunter Glatz (1908-1996), Margaret Meachen Kirby (1914-1992), Agnes Joan Arkell (1920-1995), and Shanti Seldon (1915-2013). Taken together with the broader context of my analysis of the school's Scholar Register, I argue that these five "forgotten tales," to use Craig Monson's term for microhistories, reveal the profound effect student cohorts at the RCM had on individual students' professional lives. I also demonstrate that women studying traditionally "masculine" subjects like composition and woodwind performance were particularly impacted by the presence or absence of other women in their disciplinary cohort.
