| Summary |
"In addition to his great powers as a composer, Vaughan Williams was a man of strong character and unflagging energy, who lived a long, full life. He was at the centre of musical events in England for sixty years, a period which for sustained musical achievement is probably unequalled in the history of the country. This biography by his widow is a detailed account of his career, using much material which has not been available until now. It will be generally welcomed by all who knew Vaughan Williams or who wish to increase their knowledge of a great English composer." --Book jacket. |
