Hardcover. Condition: Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. J. Walker McSpadden: Opera Synopses- A guide to the plots and characters of the standard operasthe start of the Preface states:"A knowledge of the standard operas is as essential nowadays as a knowledge of the classics of literature. each sheds its influence upon the other, and the line is continually being crossed between the adjacent fields. [For example] Plays of Shakesphere , like Othello and Merry wives; novels like Scott's Bride of Lammermoor, all reappear in musical setting. The general reader, therefore, whether he frequents the opera or not, cannot overlook this phase of artistic expression." New Edition reset and further enlarged.
