Review Quotes:
"Théâtre de la Révolution is an impeccably researched edition of Michel-Jean Sedaine's last operatic works... Sedaine's Théâtre de la Révolution will be required reading for scholars of eighteenth-century theatre and music. Thanks to Darlow's introduction, the work is also an essential contribution to scholarship on cultural production and policy during the Revolution... Overall, eighteenth-century French musical theatre, ignored by dix-huitièmistes for generations, has a champion in Mark Darlow and a welcome new title in his edition of Sedaine's last librettos." -- Logan Connors, H-France 18.95, April 2018
"This is another admirable critical edition from Darlow which sheds new light on a playwright's transition from Ancien Régime to Revolution." - Clare Siviter, MLR, 114 (2019), 145.
