Title: Operatic Subjects
Subtitle: The Evolution of Self in Modern Opera
Description: "Operatic Subjects argues that opera is more than just a conservative and belated reflection of social, intellectual, and artistic trends; opera in its own way actively has contributed to the creation of the conceptual vocabulary of modernism. Particularly, this work maintains that opera has helped form our notions of what it means to be a self in twentieth-century western culture."--BOOK JACKET.
