The turning point of Madame Bovary, which Flaubert memorably set at
the opera, is only the most famous example of a surprisingly long
tradition, one common to a range of French literary styles and
sub-genres. In the first book-length study of that tradition to
appear in English, Cormac Newark examines representations of
operatic performance from Balzac's La Comedie humaine to Proust's A
la recherche du temps perdu, by way of (among others) Dumas pere's
Le Comte de Monte-Cristo and Leroux's Le Fantome de l'Opera.
Attentive to textual and musical detail alike in the works, the
study also delves deep into their reception contexts. The result is
a compelling cultural-historical account: of changing ways of
making sense of operatic experience from the 1820s to the 1920s,
and of a perennial writerly fascination with the recording of that
experience.
