During his lifetime, and in the course of the twentieth century,
Edward Elgar and his music became sites for a remarkable variety of
nostalgic impulses. These are manifested in his personal life, in
the content of his works, in his critical and biographical
reception, and in numerous artistic ventures based on his character
and music. Today Elgar enjoys renewed popularity in Britain, and
nostalgia of various forms continues to shape our responses to his
music. From one viewpoint, Elgarian nostalgia might be dismissed as
escapist, regressive and reactionary, and the revival in Elgar's
fortunes regarded as the symptom of a pernicious 'heritage
industry' in post-colonial, post-industrial Britain. While there is
undeniably a grain of truth to that view, Matthew Riley's careful
treatment of the topic reveals a more complex picture of nostalgia,
and sheds new light on Elgar and his cultural significance in the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
