In 1848, the penultimate year of his life, Chopin visited England
and Scotland at the instigation of his aristocratic Scots pupil,
Jane Stirling. In the autumn of that year, he returned to Paris.
The following autumn he was dead. Despite the fascination the
composer continues to hold for scholars, this brief but important
period, and his previous visit to London in 1837, remain little
known. In this richly illustrated study, Peter Willis draws on
extensive original documentary evidence, as well as cultural
artefacts, to tell the story of these two visits and to place them
into aristocratic and artistic life in mid-nineteenth-century
England and Scotland. In addition to filling a significant hole in
our knowledge of the composer's life, the book adds to our
understanding of a number of important figures, including Jane
Stirling and the painter Ary Scheffer. The social and artistic
milieux of London, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh are brought to
vivid life.
