Marie-Henri Beyle (1783 1842), better known by his pen name
Stendhal, is remembered today for such novels as Le Rouge et le
Noir. Over the course of his life, he wrote in a variety of
literary genres and under a multitude of names, or anonymously.
Reissued here is the 1824 English translation of his Vie de Rossini
of the same year, which was accused of being partly plagiarised
from Giuseppe Carpani's Le Rossiniane, following similar claims
regarding his biographies of Haydn and Mozart (which are also
reissued together in translation in this series). Best known for
William Tell and The Barber of Seville, Gioachino Rossini (1792
1868) was by far the most popular opera composer of his day, adored
by his public. Colourful, vigorous and forthright, Stendhal's
brilliant though somewhat unreliable biography offers an
opinionated contemporary critique of 'Signor Crescendo'.
