These letters cover all aspects of Warlock's music, and give a
vivid glimpse of the early 20th-century musical and artistic world.
The composer Philip Heseltine (1894-1930), better known by his
pseudonym 'Peter Warlock', is one of the most fascinating
characters in twentieth-century English music. Educated at Eton and
Oxford, yet musically largely self-taught, he is considered by many
to be one of the great English song-writers. But besides being a
composer, he was also an important pioneer editor of early music as
well as the author of a number of books and numerous articles for
newspapers and journals. His eccentric life-style, his outspoken
comments and writings about music, as well as the mysterious
circumstances surrounding his death, have all ensured that the
'Warlock legend' has not lost its fascinationover the years. During
his short life he was a prolific and highly articulate letter
writer and some thousand of his letters have survived. These the
Warlock scholar and authority Barry Smith has edited with copious
annotations and footnotes as well as generous background material.
