About the book

"This volume focuses on the story of Judith as presented by composers, librettists and playwrights over four centuries. Helen Leneman analyzes numerous examples of music, librettos and the librettists' views of Judith - strongly influenced by societal attitudes of their time - and how these librettos in turn suggest unexpected ways of understanding biblical women and their stories"--
