Historians of French politics, art, philosophy and literature have
long known the tensions and fascinations of Louis XV's reign, the
1750s in particular. David Charlton's study comprehensively
re-examines this period, from Rameau to Gluck and elucidates the
long-term issues surrounding opera. Taking Rousseau's Le Devin du
Village as one narrative centrepiece, Charlton investigates this
opera's origins and influences in the 1740s and goes on to use past
and present research to create a new structural model that explains
the elements of reform in Gluck's tragedies for Paris. Charlton's
book opens many new perspectives on the musical practices and
politics of the period, including the Querelle des Bouffons. It
gives the first detailed account of intermezzi and opere buffe
performed by Eustachio Bambini's troupe at the Paris Opera from
August 1752 to February 1754 and discusses Rameau's comedies Platee
and Les Paladins and their origins.
