Overtones of Opera explores the discourse of opera -- both the art form and the social institution -- in selected works of Whitman, Poe, Alcott, Chopin, Cather, James, and Wharton. For some, opera provided a powerful artistic medium for expressing a private aesthetic experience; in opera, they discovered the embodied voice of the artist. Others found not only the spectacle of opera but also its spaces, the opera houses and boxes, perfectly suited for displaying the class-based and commodity driven aspirations of America's new aristocracy. This noteworthy study will inform and enlighten literary scholars, musicologists, and lovers of both opera and literature.

I am primarily impressed with the bravery, sincerity, charity, and charm with which they excavate, tackle, and illuminate these issues.

A confronting read which captures a continent’s frustrations. the book mourns the death of our values and virtues which have been hounded out repeatedly by the vices we wear without any vestige of shame. the poems are like bayonets, raw and unapologetic—Nate Gwenambira, author of Breakfast with Death. The poets give you an insider’s view of the complexities surrounding the African life in politics, love, marriage, genders, feminism, patriarchy, marriage, and society as a whole. Using subtle humor, they regale you with serious questions, light moments, the great and not-so-great parts about the African experience, and what it is like beyond.
