Using some of these letters as a framework, Carey's nephew has compiled an informal biography of Edward Dent. Production pictures, costume designs and sets will be of particular interest to the theatre and opera historian, while the period flavour of the book in general will appeal to anyone with interest in or nostalgia for an era that ended with the fifties.
This first full biography of Edward J. Dent (1876-1957) covers not only his pioneering music scholarship and cultural activities but also his personal crusades on behalf of music and opera, gays, refugees, and the culturally destitute. Drawn from a wide variety of unpublished sources, from behind Dent's carefully constructed public persona of a cosmopolitan gentleman scholar the picture emerges of a more complex and fascinating human being. His seminal works remain fresh and vital and his writing hugely entertaining, while his ideas on the importance of the arts in everyday life are as relevant as ever.

This book contains the complete text of Il Mostro Turchino, or The Blue Monster, by Italian playwright Carlo Gozzi (1720-1806).
Carlo Goldoni's 'The Servant of Two Masters' stands as a seminal work in the canon of commedia dell'arte, distinguishing itself through its masterful blend of laugh-out-loud scenarios and shrewd social commentary. The narrative follows the hilariously convoluted escapades of Truffaldino, who attempts to simultaneously serve two masters without either discovering his deception. Goldoni's play is a deftly written amalgamation of traditional Italian theatrical forms and a more modern, character-driven approach to drama, resulting in a timeless piece that resonates with modern audiences as much as it did with 18th-century theatergoers.
