Emblems of Eloquence: Opera and Women's Voices in Seventeenth-Century Venice Tapa dura - 2004 - 1st Edición
de Wendy Heller
Descripción de contraportada
"This remarkably original book makes a substantial contribution to the history of Venetian opera. Working from the now well-established point of view that opera was a preeminent social and political phenomenon in seventeenth-century Venice, Heller has expanded the sociopolitical arena to include issues of gender. She convincingly demonstrates the relevance of contemporary views of women and women's voices, not only to the plots and characters of individual operas, but also to the Venetian self-image as projected on the operatic stage."--Ellen Rosand, author of Opera in Seventeenth-Century Venice
"In this brilliant new book, Wendy Heller ushers in a refreshing new phase of musicology as she weds the interpretative methods of the last ten years with the painstaking research of good, old-fashioned scholarship. Emblems of Eloquence bristles with critical insights, all backed up with impressively erudite references to classic literature, Renaissance theories of the sexual body, and debates concerning the status of women among the Venetian patricians responsible for the rise of public opera. For all its erudition, the book is also a great read, describing tragic queens and femmes fatales of antiquity, divas, castrati, cross-dressing, and incomparably great music."--Susan McClary, author of Conventional Wisdom
