Edward Elgar is among the greatest of all English composers, and this major biography, the culmination of twenty years' work, is probably the most complete and perceptive study of the composer to date. Drawing on the vast amount of source material, much of it previously unpublished, Jerrold Northrop Moore presents Elgar's life and works as inseparable parts of a single creative career. This classic study, unavailable for many years, is here reissued as a Clarendon Paperback.

Jerrold Northrop Moore pursues his quest for the essential Elgar and sets out the story of an extraordinarily creative life.

This powerful short book is the outcome of half a century's thought and reflection by a leading Elgar biographer.
