Synopsis

A study of the life of late 19th- and early 20th-century critic, John Mackinnon Robertson. Rationalist and enemy of religion, Robertson published over 100 books and thousands of articles, and this text aims to demonstrate that his writings are still relevant for late 20th-century readers.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This collection of essays by some of the leading scholars in the field looks at various aspects of musical life in eighteenth-century Britain. The significant roles played by institutions such as the Freemasons and foreign embassy chapels in promoting music making and introducing foreign styles to English music are examined, as well as the influence exerted by individuals, both foreign and British. The book covers the spectrum of British music, both sacred and secular, and both cosmopolitan and provincial. In doing so it helps to redress the picture of eighteenth-century British music which has previously portrayed Handel and London as its primary constituents.
