Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
"Presents a comprehensive study of the development of court masque and through-composed
opera in England from the mid-1650s to the Revolution of 1688-89. In seeking to address
the problem of generic categorization within a highly fragmentary corpus for which
a limited amount of documentation survives, Andrew Walkling argues that our understanding
of the distinction between masque and opera must be premised upon a thorough knowledge
of theatrical context and performance circumstances."--Provided by publisher
