This chapter examines Modest Mussorgsky's opera Khovanshchina. It explais that the historical basis of its plot came from the succession of violent events stretching through the last two decades of the seventeenth century. It suggests that the opera's plot failed to achieve full stability and coherence because Mussorgksy composed verbal monologues and dialogues alongside the music in a kind of patchwork and it did not follow any literary prototype for its musical narrative.Less

Although Shakespeare may have had a certain historical basis for relying heavily on Holinshed and Hall in coming up with his Henry in Henry V, there may still have been a number of events that he was not aware of since there are events that both Hall and Holinshed may not have mentioned. Two such events that could have made great dramatic impacts are Henry's duelling challenge that he presented to Dauphin after he had been able to conquer Harfleur, and the proposal that the French party put forward that involved how both parties were given the authority to choose the time and place for war. These are examined in this chapter to observe how such events were able to reflect certain chivalric norms.Less
