This valuable book considers the reception of the composer,
pianist, organist and conductor Felix Mendelssohn in
nineteenth-century England, and his influence on English musical
culture. Despite the composer's immense popularity in the nation
during his lifetime and in the decades following his death, this is
the first book to deal exclusively with the subject of Mendelssohn
in England. Mendelssohn's highly successful ten trips to Britain,
between 1829 and 1847, are documented and discussed in detail, as
are his relationships with English musicians and a variety of
prominent figures. An introductory chapter describes the musical
life of England (especially London) at the time of Mendelssohn's
arrival and the last two chapters deal with the composer's
posthumous reception, to the end of the Victorian era. Eatock
reveals Mendelssohn as a catalyst for the expansion of English
musical culture in the nineteenth century. In taking this position,
the author challenges much of the extant literature on the subject
and provides an engaging story that brings Mendelssohn and his
English experiences to life.
