The Opera (novel)
The Opera is an 1832 novel by the British writer Catherine Gore, originally published in three volumes.[1] It is part of the tradition of silver fork novels focusing on British high society of the later Regency era.[2] [3] One contemporary reviewer launched a critical attack on its elitism, and lack of realism about everyday lives.[4] The novel makes many references to the ongoing debate about the Reform Bill.[5]
