Description

Explore the evolution of Italian opera through the lens of the librettist in The Last Troubadours by Deirdre O'Grady. Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Art and Culture in the Nineteenth Century, this study examines how the operatic librettist acted as poet, dramatist, adaptor, and translator to reflect and challenge social conventions. This work traces the history of the Italian libretto from its 16th-century courtly origins through the 19th-century struggle for national unity and the rise of social realism. It identifies opera as a mirror for literary climates, popular taste, and political aspirations. Readers gain insight into how fundamental elements like heroic valour and cunning servants shaped the genre. This book is an essential resource for those studying the connection between music, literature, and the social shifts of the Italian era.
