      abstract = {"The turning point of Madame Bovary, which Flaubert  memorably set at the opera, is only the most famous example  of a surprisingly long tradition, one common to a range of  French literary styles and sub-genres. In the first  book-length study of that tradition to appear in English,  Cormac Newark examines representations of operatic  performance from Balzac's La Come;die humaine to Proust's  À la recherche du temps perdu, by way of (among others)  Dumas père's Le Comte de Monte-Cristo and Leroux's Le  Fantôme de l'Ope;ra. Attentive to textual and musical  detail alike in the works, the study also delves deep into  their reception contexts. The result is a compelling  cultural-historical account: of changing ways of making  sense of operatic experience from the 1820s to the 1920s,  and of a perennial writerly fascination with the recording  of that experience"--},
