An insightful biography of the great composer, revealing
Schubert’s complex and fascinating private life alongside his
musical genius  Brilliant, short-lived, incredibly
prolific—Schubert is one of the most intriguing figures in music
history. While his music attracts a wide audience, much of his
private life remains shrouded in mystery, and significant portions
of his work have been overlooked. Â In this major new
biography, Lorraine Byrne Bodley takes a detailed look into
Schubert’s life, from his early years at the Stadtkonvikt to the
harrowing battle with syphilis that led to his death at the age of
thirty-one. Drawing on extensive archival research in Vienna and
the Czech Republic, and reconsidering the meaning of some of his
best-known works, Bodley provides a fuller account than ever before
of Schubert’s extraordinary achievement and incredible courage.
This is a compelling new portrait of one of the most beloved
composers of the nineteenth century.
