- Abstract
"French Music in Britain, 1830–1914" by Paul Rodmell is a book that explores the role of French identity in British criticism of French music during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The author analyzes press commentary on early performances of French composers' works, focusing on operatic genres. The book challenges the dominant narrative that German music had the most influence on British music during this time period, and instead argues that French music played a significant role. The author divides the discussion into four chronological chapters, highlighting the increasing reception of French music in Britain over the years. The book provides a valuable contribution to the understanding of the influence of French music on British culture.
