The turning point of Madame Bovary, which Flaubert memorably set at the opera, is only the most famous example of a surprisingly long tradition, one common to a range of French literary styles and sub-genres. In the first book-length study of that tradition to appear in English, Cormac Newark examines representations of operatic performance from Balzac''s La Comédie humaine to Proust''s � la recherche du temps perdu, by way of (among others) Dumas père''s Le Comte de Monte-Cristo and Leroux''s Le Fantôme de l''Opéra. Attentive to textual and musical detail alike in the works, the study also delves deep into their reception contexts. The result is a compelling cultural-historical account: of changing ways of making sense of operatic experience from the 1820s to the 1920s, and of a perennial writerly fascination with the recording of that experience. | Opera in the Novel from Balzac to Proust by Cormac Newark Hardcover | Indigo Chapters Books > Music & Movies & Performing Arts > Music > Opera P10122, Cormac Newark<
