History of Encyclopædia Britannica and Britannica Online
According to one chronicler of Britannica history, Edinburgh in the mid-1700s was "a city on the verge of a golden age, a center of learning and a home of writers, thinkers, and philosophers, wags, wits, and teachers."
Our line of product has grown, the media of publication have changed, but Britannica’s basic mission has not. It’s the same as it was in 1768: to be the worldwide leader in reference, education, and learning.
Based on the slightly earlier Italian literary verismo, which was itself influenced by French naturalism, operatic verismo was marked by melodramatic, often violent plots with characters drawn from everyday life. Musical devices included passionate declamation by solo voices and emotionally charged harmonies and melodies. The leading exponents were Pietro Mascagni
