5 The volume is striking for making some notable omissions from what are otherwise extremely comprehensive bibliographies. Works by Cone and Robert Hatten are cited in a number of chapters, but there are several important recent contributions on perceptions of agency and drama in music, such as the Maus and Monahan articles cited above, as well as a host of essays and monographs on narrative, that are mentioned nowhere. What is more, Tunbridge writes in her introduction that a ‘crucial’ (p. 7) influence on many of the essays in the volume is Abbate, Carolyn's Unsung Voices: Opera and Musical Narrative in the Nineteenth Century (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1991)CrossRefGoogle Scholar, although none makes any reference to this pioneering text.
