The Lost Tradition of Dvorák’s Operas: Myth, Music, and Nationalism examines Antonín Dvorák’s operas, specifically Jakobín and Rusalka, from a critical standpoint, focusing on such criteria as tonal structures, thematic material and motives, subject matter, Czech folklore and musical influences, textual language, nationalism, characters, compositional history, performance history, and reception. This research vindicates and validates Dvorák as an opera composer and shows him to be an overlooked master in nineteenth century opera and the bridge between the Verdi and Wagner traditions.

Dr. John Holland's book provides expert research and analysis of Dvorák’s operatic œuvre, and is a major contribution to the field for both musicologists and performers alike. He brings to light the musical, historical and cultural richness of an otherwise neglected part of Dvorák’s compositional output, while presenting modern-day awareness and performance practice suggestions.
