This book reviews the period from the unification of Italy to the fascist era through significant Neapolitan performers such as Gilda Mignonette and Enrico Caruso. It traces the transformation of a popular tradition written in dialect into a popular tradition; written in Italian; that contributed to the production of "American" identity.

It's a photocopy of an original book; and it's so tiny that you can hardly read a thing. Really bad printing. Has no one retyped this and published it? In all fairness; ALL of this was written in the description; which I didn't read. I might look at one of the used hard copy books in the marketplace... maybe there's a better option there. In other news; I would highly recommend "Jesus the Christ" by James Talmage. Very inspired and detailed in every aspect of Christ's life. He references Farrar's work regularly; which is how I came across it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Marvelous classic!By Joan AndersonThis is the best book of all the many I have read about Jesus Christ. You can tell he really "knows" the Lord and shares that understanding with us. He made the location and the persons come to life. I will be rereading it often. I feel so much closer to the Savior having devoured this book.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Moving and powerfulBy David Alan ArmstrongAlthough Farrar's theology is traditionally Protestant; his understanding of the history; the times; and the settings of the Holy Land are marvelous. His book is an oft-quoted source in Talmage's Jesus the Christ for God reason. The chapter on the Crucifixion was moving and powerful.
