The article presents information on several books. One of these books is "Foundations of English Opera. A Study of Musical Drama in England during the Seventeenth Century," by Edward J. Dent. The author discusses manifestations of the operatic principle which governs, or should govern, the combination of music and drama. Genuine achievement-the Elizabethan choristerdramas, the Jacobean masques "and those rare specimens of genuine English opera, 'Venus and Adonis' and 'Dido and Aeneas' "-he assigns only to the amateurs. Another book is "Selected Poems," by Carl Spitteler and translated by Ethel Colburn Mayme and James F. Muirhead.
