 | National Traditions in Nineteenth-Century Opera, Volume II: Central and Eastern Europe Subjects: Arts; Area Studies; Humanities; Central Asian Russian & Eastern European Studies; Music; History; Social & Cultural History; Music & The Arts; Western Music Styles (Early & Classical); This volume offers a cross-section of English-language scholarship on German and Slavonic operatic repertories of the "long nineteenth century," giving particular emphasis to four areas: German opera in the first half of the nineteenth century; the works of Richard Wagner after 1848; Russian opera between Glinka and Rimsky-Korsakov; and the operas of Richard Strauss and Janácek. The essays reflect diverse methods, ranging from stylistic, philological, and historical approaches to those rooted in hermeneutics, critical theory, and post-modernist inquiry. Michael C.
