xxvi., 379 pp., and 16 illustrations on 8 pp. A very short tear to the top edge of the front panel, and a dent at the head of the spine, but otherwise a very nice copy of an uncommon work. This extensively revised edition of John Bird's acclaimed biography of Percy Grainger gives the first circumstantial account of the life and works of one of the strangest figures in twentieth-century music. Behind Grainger's highly original compositional achievements, folksong collecting and glittering career as a virtuoso concert pianist lay a tragic and chaotic personal lifelong domination by his mother, unorthodox sexual predilections, an eccentric athleticism, a demonic spiritual drive and wildly inconsistent personal philosophy with Anglo-Saxon obsessions such as his famous Blue-Eyed English'. A list of published compositions. 0198166524
