""Decadent Enchantments" is an essay in culture history about chant scholarship as a phenomenon, an engaging, lively, and stimulating case study of Romantic and post-Romantic historicism run rampant, with brilliant apercues and colorful analogies on almost every page."--Harold Powers, coauthor of "Puccini's Turandot: The End of the Great Tradition" "This meditation on the nineteenth-century restoration of Gregorian chant will speak to historians and cultural analysts from a number of different fields.

" Decadent Enchantments" is a model of historiography."--Susan McClary, author of "Feminine Endings: Music, Gender, and Sexuality"
