The Lost Tradition of Dvorák's Operas: Myth, Music, and Nationalism examines Antonìn Dvorák's operas, specifically Jakobìn and Rusalka, from a critical standpoint, focusing on such criteria as tonal structures, thematic material and motives, subject matter, Czech folklore and musical influences, textual language, nationalism, characters, compositional history, performance history, and reception. This research vindicates and validates Dvorák as an opera composer and shows him to be an overlooked master in nineteenth century opera and the bridge between the Verdi and Wagner traditions.
