Forgotten plays are rediscovered, familiar works take on new meanings, and traditional historiographical narratives about drama and 'musical theatre' are thrown into question. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMusic, the Market, and the Marvellous\u003c\/em\u003e examines \u003cem\u003eféerie\u003c\/em\u003e, the French fairy play, in the last third of the nineteenth century. It is among the first book-length studies on the genre, the first in a language other than French, and the first from a musicological perspective. Sabbatini demonstrates that, contrary to conventional wisdom, \u003cem\u003eféerie\u003c\/em\u003e was still thriving during the fin de siècle, giving rise to innovations such as composerly \u003cem\u003eféerie\u003c\/em\u003e and scientific \u003cem\u003eféerie\u003c\/em\u003e. The plays, the theatre industry, and urban geography are discussed together, as befits a commercial genre where the marvellous was shaped by the market. Recovering this forgotten ^—^but once hugely influential ^—^ repertoire provides an occasion to rethink generic taxonomies of Parisian theatre and the ontology of nineteenth-century 'popular' theatre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55862370468214,"sku":"9780197267738","price":124.06,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_35450062_99bb27e3-3213-45bd-84cc-6f31993e7737.jpg?v=1753310213","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780197267738-music-the-market-and-the-marvellous","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
