The operas of Benjamin Britten : expression and evasion
Seymour, Claire, 1970-2007
Books, Manuscripts
Seymour examines ways in which Britten's operas explored and articulated the inherent ambiguity and latent sexuality of music, particularly song, and suggests that Britten's operas may illustrate his search for a public 'voice' which would embody, communicate, and resolve his private beliefs and anxieties.
