This book was first published in hard covers in 1976 to mark the centenary of the birth of Edward J. Dent and concentrates on the crucial romantic period and shows how romantic opera had its origins not in Germany, as is often thought, but in the music-dramas and operas of revolutionary France.

Edward Dent wrote on a variety of musical subjects, ranging from substantial articles in the most learned journals to less weighty pieces in Radio Times. This volume aims to reflect that variety. Some of the articles are of primarily historical interest; all are informed by Dent's witty and distinctive prose style.
