Description

In this study from the Music in Britain series, Thomas McGeary examines how Italian opera influenced the political landscape of eighteenth-century Britain. Focusing on the reign of Queen Anne (1702-1714), the book explores the connections between composers, agents, and institutions and their impact on the public. McGeary uses a wide range of sources to demonstrate how the worlds of politics and opera were linked. The research shows that by the 1690s, associations involving Italian singers and singing styles were actively used in Whig-Tory partisan writings. Rather than viewing the rise of Italian-style opera as a foreign invasion, this work presents it as a native product that developed within the British cultural context.
