Leonora's Last ACT: Essays in Verdian Discourse Hardcover - 1997
by Roger Parker
In a collection of essays, Oxford Fellow Roger Parker brings a series of valuable insights to bear on Verdian analysis and criticism. The book serves as a model of research and critical thinking about opera, while nevertheless retaining a deep respect for opera's continuing power to touch generations of listeners. 4 photos. 46 music examples.
From the rear cover
"Parker's wit and high irony pervade every page. In a sense, his central aim (though never self-identified as such) is to brandish a new 'tone' or attitude toward scholarship--and toward Verdi--in the postmodern 1990s. The book is immensely engaging throughout: verbal surprises and astonishing suggestions lurk around every corner. Leonora's Last Act is a joy to read even as it seeks mischievously to unsettle our views of this composer."--James Hepokoski, University of Minnesota
