This book is concerned with a hundred years of musical drama in
England. It charts the development of the genre from the theatre
works of Henry Purcell (and his contemporaries) to the dramatic
oratorios of George Frideric Handel (and his). En route it
investigates the objections to all-sung drama in English that were
articulated in the decades around 1700, various proposed solutions,
the importation of Italian opera, and the creation of the dramatic
oratorio - English drama, all-sung but not staged. Most of the
constituent essays take an in-depth look at a particular aspect of
the process, while others draw attention to dramatic qualities in
non-dramatic works that also were performed in the theatre. The
journey from Purcell to Handel illustrates the vigour and vitality
of English theatrical and musical traditions, and Handel's dramatic
oratorios and other settings of English words answer questions
posed before he was born.
