Emily Kilpatrick unites musical, literary, documentary and cultural perspectives to shed new light on Ravel's two operas, his working life and his compositional practice. Maurice Ravel's operas L'Heure espagnole (1907/1911) and L'Enfant et les sortileges (1919-25) are pivotal works in the composer's relatively small oeuvre.
