The Castrato: Reflections on Natures and Kinds - Ernest Bloch Lectures
Martha Feldman
An exploration of why innumerable boys were castrated for singing between the mid-sixteenth and late-nineteenth centuries. This book shows that the entire foundation of Western classical singing, culminating in bel canto, was birthed from an unlikely and historically set of desires, public and private, aesthetic, economic, and political.
