In addressing the problem of generic categorization within a highly fragmentary corpus for which a limited amount of documentation survives, Walkling argues that our understanding of the distinctions between masque and opera must be premised upon a thorough knowledge of theatrical context and performance circumstances. This interdisciplinary study draws on extensive archival and literary evidence, close textual readings, tabular analysis and meticulous collation of bibliographical and musical sources.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49183327191267,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781472446534-1.jpg?v=1788386964","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781472446534","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
