Another model?

[edit]

Could it be said that another model for Hilda was (despite the difference in gender) Benjamin Britten? Was not her all-female opera Emily Butter a satire of Britten's all-male opera Billy Budd? Certainly some people thought so and accused the BBC of bad taste when in 1976 (as far as I recall) they repeated the plays while Britten was on his death-bed.

Actually I've just found a reference online which confirms this and which mentions yet another model, Naomi Jacob. See http://www.webrarian.co.uk/reed/hilda_tablet_plays.html Tiresias13 (talk) 21:44, 10 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

There's reinforcement of the Benjamin Britten suggestion here, with the assertion that 'the original title of "Emily Butter" was to have been "Milly Mudd"' Bidmead (talk) 07:40, 17 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
