Verdi, Opera, Women - Cambridge Studies in Opera
Rutherford, Susan (University of Manchester)
Verdi's operas portray a striking diversity of female protagonists, including warrior women, courtesans, gypsies and feisty townswomen. Contextualising these characters within the social, cultural and political history of their period, Susan Rutherford examines the shifting and complex relationships between them and their female spectators in nineteenth-century Italy.
