571. This week we talk to Hans Rasmussen about the book he edited, A
Girl’s Life in New Orleans: The Diary of Ella Grunewald,
1884–1886. “A Girl’s Life in New Orleans
presents the diary of Ella Grunewald, an upper-middle-class
teenager in New Orleans at the end of the nineteenth century.
Grunewald, the daughter of one of the Crescent City’s leading
music dealers, used her journal to record the major events of
her day-to-day life, documenting family, friendships, schooling,
musical education, and social activities. Her entries frequently
describe illness, death, and other tragedies. Though attentive
to the city’s classical music scene, Grunewald also recounts
theater shows, Carnival balls and parades, Catholic religious
observances, and the World’s Fair that the city hosted in 1884.”
Hans Rasmussen is head of Special Collections Technical Services
at LSU Libraries in Baton Rouge.
