The Rival Sirens: Performance and Identity on Handel's Operatic Stage - Cambridge Studies in Opera
Aspden, Suzanne (University of Oxford)

It emphasises cultural context and aspects of performance, offering a range of interpretative tools not previously exploited in studies of the century's opera before Mozart.
