Music And Nationalism: A Study Of English Opera (1911) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781164380894)

""Music and Nationalism: A Study of English Opera"" is a book written by Cecil Forsyth in 1911. The book explores the relationship between music and nationalism in England, with a particular focus on English opera. Forsyth examines the development of English opera from its origins in the 17th century through to the early 20th century, and analyzes how it reflects the national identity and cultural values of England. Forsyth argues that English opera is an important expression of English nationalism, and that it has played a significant role in shaping the country's cultural identity. He also discusses the influence of other European musical traditions on English opera, and how this has impacted its development over time. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of English opera and its relationship to nationalism. Forsyth provides detailed analysis of specific operas and their composers, and draws on a wide range of historical and cultural sources to support his arguments. Overall, ""Music and Nationalism: A Study of English Opera"" is a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of the relationship between music and national identity in England. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of English opera, as well as those interested in the broader topic of nationalism and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
