English opera and song books, 1703-1726: Their contents, publishing, printing, and bibliographical description

Examination of opera and song books published in England from 1703 to 1726 provides the occasion for consideration of dissemination history and the infiltration of Italian musical style, musicians and texts into London's music-making; the publishing history of opera and song books; the techniques and materials used to print such books; and the problems of bibliographical description caused by engraved materials, particularly in the areas of title-page description, ideal copy, composite books, and the terms of bibliographic classification.
