       an age of democratic revolution -- Rossini, Mozart, 
       Paisiello, and the Barber of Seville -- Jane Austen, Goya,
       Rossini, and the post-Napoleonic age : La Cenerentola -- 
       Rossini, Beethoven, and rescue opera : Fidelio and La 
       gazza ladra -- Rossini, Ferretti, Matilde di Shabran, and

       Revolution. 
520 8  This book examines Rossini within the context of his own 
       time, one of Napoleonic domination of Italy, restoration 
       of the Bourbon monarchy in Naples in 1815, and the 1830 
       Revolution in Paris. Using the techniques of the historian,
       and reading librettos as texts, the author analyzes the 
       five operas treated in detail in the book ('Il barbiere di
       Siviglia', 'Cenerentola', 'La gazza ladra', 'Matilde di 
       Shabran', and 'Il viaggio a Reims') as responses, each in 
       its own way, to the history that the composer experienced.
       Roberts shows that Rossini made probing commentaries on 
       politics and religion in a time of reaction and revolution,
       and that the composer was well-informed on post-Napoleonic
       politics. Rossini's comic writing served very serious 
       purposes, exposing the problems and complications of an 
       age that he observed with striking clarity.
