Opera-lover Christopher Morgan wanted to know more about the historical facts on which operatic stories were based, yet he could find no one book which gave him the background he wanted. He therefore set upon writing such a book himself, taking eight of the most popular and frequently performed operas as his starting point. His search for material led him into libraries all over Europe, exploring little-known corners of European history, often to discover that the real story behind the opera libretto is even more dramatic than its operatic counterpart. Beautifully illustrated and accessibly written, Don Carlos and Company tells the stories behind Don Carlos, Simon Boccanegra, Il Trovatore, Rigoletto, Lucia di Lammermoor, Un Ballo in Maschera, La Traviata and La Bohème. Throughout, it is endlessly fascinating to see how fact and fiction overlap, and from what obscure sources a major work of imagination can spring. The stories range from fourteenth-century Genoa to nineteenth-century Paris, and are accompanied in each case by a brief summary of the operatic plot. Don Carlos and Company will add to any listener's enjoyment and understanding of opera, and will be of interest to anyone who appreciates historical detective work.

This is the first book to treat the entire works of R. S. Thomas and will prove to be an indispensable guide and companion to the complete poems. Morgan not only recontextualizes and reinterprets the poet's major themes of self, nature, and the search for deity; he breaks new ground with a penetrating investigation of Thomas's long preoccupation with the philosophical and practical implications of science and technology. The book is divided into three parts, each of which interprets the development of a major theme over Thomas's twenty-seven volumes, probing these particular themes and particular poems, with a meticulous insight. The book also treats Thomas's work as a complex and interrelated whole, as a body of work that comprises a single artistic achievement, and assesses that achievement within the context of an array of major literary figures from Montaigne to Seamus Heaney and Wallace Stevens.
