Paperback. Zustand: Good. I hear the chorus, it is a grand opera, Ah this indeed is music-this suits me.-Walt Whitman, Song of Myself America has had a love affair with opera in all its forms since it was first performed here in colonial times. This book-the first comprehensive cultural and social history of musical theater in the United States-includes vignettes of productions, personalities, audiences, and theaters throughout the country from 1735 to the present day. John Dizikes tells how opera, steeped in European aristocratic tradition, was transplanted into the democratic cultural environment of America. With a wealth of colorful detail, he describes how operas were performed and received in small towns and in big cities, and he brings to life little-known people involved with opera as well as famous ones such as Oscar Hammerstein, Jenny Lind, Gustav Mahler, Enrico Caruso, Milton Cross, Maria Callas, and Leonard Bernstein. He tells us about the often overlooked African American contribution to operatic history, from nineteenth-century minstrel shows to the work of Scott Joplin and Marian Anderson, and he discusses operetta and Broadway musicals, recognized everywhere in the world as one of the triumphs of American twentieth-century art. Dizikes considers the increasingly diverse operatic audiences of the twentieth century, shaped by records, radio, and television, and he describes the places where opera now flourishes-not only New York, Chicago, and San Francisco, but also St. Louis, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Santa Fe, Seattle, and elsewhere. Generously illustrated and engagingly written, the book is a fitting tribute to its subject-as grand and entertaining as opera itself.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Poetry was a form of liberation. The all-engrossing subject was love.Love Songs is a collective biography of nine American women poets who lived and wrote, primarily, in the first half of the twentieth century and were important in the emergence of New York City as the literary capital of the nation. They knew one another, and sometimes reviewed, criticized, and encouraged each other's work. The poems presented here are lyric poems, short song-like poems of many moods and forms, on many varied subjects - relationships, urban life, modernism and traditionalism, contemporary politics, and, above John Dizikes all, the infinite varieties of love.L onie Adams subtly explored the metaphysics of contemporary love.Louise Bogan, a wide-ranging observer of the contemporary scene, was influential as poetry editor of The New Yorker.Amy Lowell, a pioneer of free verse and Modernist Imagism, was a prolific essayist and reviewer, and a biographer of Keats.Edna St. Vincent Millay, a compelling performer and a cultural force, was America's most-read poet.Marianne Moore, unconventional in every regard, was an incomparable Modernist, her poetry unique in point of view and style.Genevieve Taggard, an editor and an early champion of the poetry of Emily Dickinson, explored radicalism and contemporary politics in her own work.Millay, Sara Teasdale, Elinor Wylie, and Dorothy Parker were popular to a degree which seems extraordinary now. Their work was widely quoted, printed and reprinted in newspapers and journals, and performed for large audiences both live and via radio.Varied and independent, all were triumphantly successful in the courage with which they wrote.…
