Many myths, masquerading as facts, were flourishing, when Anthony
Meredith's first Arnold biography came out, almost twenty years
ago. Accordingly, he misrepresented several key issues, just as
previous biographers had done. He also fudged others, for Arnold
was still alive, and so, too, was his forceful carer. The many
Arnold myths lived on. Three years ago, however, Malcolm Arnold's
daughter, Katherine, encouraged the biographer to write a new book
with the true story of her father's last thirty years. She had much
new evidence to support it - material that confirmed her suspicions
that when her father, in mid-life, came under the total control of
two different carers, his vulnerability had been terribly
exploited. Arnold's last thirty years could only properly be
understood if seen in the context of his earlier life, so a full
biography beckoned. Nor could the years after the composer's death
be omitted, for things occurred in this period that shed much light
on previous dramas. The Inside Story, then, sweeps away the many
myths that have surrounded the intriguing figure of Malcolm Arnold.
It offers arresting new facts about his life, fresh insights into
his music and much food for thought about the care of the mentally
ill and its legal aspects. This important addition to the
literature of British music is an engrossing saga, told with
compassion and candour.
