Praise for previous editions: "A brilliant biography....Elgar is no easier to capture on the page than he was to deal with in life. Yet Mr. Kennedy succeeds superbly, displacing the flabby legend of Elgar as an Edwardian musical blimp with a convincing portrait of a complex, lonely man of great gifts whose music, composed for the most part in the shadow of the Schoenbergian revolution, has never quite achieved the place it deserves."--The New York Times Book Review"Swift, persuasive...As a character study it is better than a novel since it deals with the real life of a great composer."--Times Literary Supplement"Masterly...A rich rewarding book."--Music and Musicians, Praise for previous editions : "A brilliant biography....Elgar is no easier to capture on the page than he was to deal with in life.

Edition Description
Revised edition
Synopsis
The public image of Elgar as patriotic country squire was established in his lifetime, but, in reality, it concealed a highly complex, sometimes baffling, private individual. Although acquaintances found him a man of endless curiosity and good humour, his family and close friends knew him to be rather different: a prey to despair, neurotically mistrustful both of himself and of those who loved him and so damaged by the condescension and neglect of his early years that emotionally he never recovered. This is a reissue of the third edition of Michael Kenedy's portrait of this complexman - not an analytical survey of the music but a faithful likeness of the composer, recognizable, but at the same time a thoroughly individual interpretation of the subject.
