The handbook offers a cross-section of essays written by leading experts in the field, organized within broad conceptual groups, which together capture the breadth, direction, and tone of musicals studies today." - GOOGLE BOOKSNotes: Includes bibliographic references and indexISBN: 9780199987368Contents: Part I: Historiography.
