Ashgate Interdisciplinary Studies in Opera is designed to provide a centralized and prominent forum for the presentation of cutting-edge scholarship that draws on numerous disciplinary approaches to a wide range of subjects associated with the creation, performance, and reception of opera (and closely related genres) in various social, historical and geographical contexts. Both single author books and collections of essays that reflect the ever-increasing interest in opera as viewed from non-musical perspectives will be considered for inclusion in the series. Books in the series will be linked by their emphasis on a single genre--opera--and will be distinguished by their individualized and novel approaches by scholars from various fields of inquiry. The remit of the series welcomes studies on seventeenth-century to contemporary opera and related genres.
