I know this isn't exactly lutistic, but perhaps someone has some info to share:
In Dickens' "Dombey & Son" (1848), a young man is advised to learn
to play the guitar (or flute!) to express himself to a particular young
lady. What kind of guitar would have been popular at the time? What
tunes might he play? Improv to his own ingenious romantic lines?
Thanks!
Leonard Williams
