Excerpt from The Story of Opera
Histories of Opera are not very numerous: there have been many articles and essays in various maga zines, dictionaries, and so forth which have presented more or less concise synopses of the gradual develop ment and growth Of the Operatic Art. Some Of these, notably the one in Grove's Dictionary, are excellent, but a work Of such bulk is not for the everyday reader, nor, generally speaking, for the amateur. Beyond these magazine and dictionary essays the number of books - at any rate in the English language - solely on Opera is very limited, and from the nature Of the case, those that exist soon get out Of date.
