This book is the first to examine in depth the contributions of
major British authors such as W. H. Auden and E. M. Forster, as
critics and librettists, to the rise of British opera in the
twentieth century. The perceived literary values of British
authors, as much as the musical innovations of British composers,
informed the aesthetic development of British opera. Indeed,
British opera emerged as a simultaneously literary and musical
project. Too often, operatic adaptations are compared superficially
to their original sources. This is a particular problem for British
opera, which has become increasingly defined artistically by the
literary sophistication of its narrative sources. The resulting
collaborations between literary figures and composers have crucial
implications for the development of both opera and literature.
Twentieth-Century British Authors and the Rise of Opera in Britain
reveals the importance of this literary involvement in operatic
adaptation to literature and literary studies, to music and
musicology, and to cultural and theoretical studies.
