| Abstract | A collection of a dozen commissioned essays that, like its predecessor (Elgar Studies, Scolar Press, 1990) seeks to reflect many aspects of the life and work of the great English composer. Each essay is self-contained but the strong literary thread running through most of them suggested the title of the collection. Many of the contributors to the earlier volume are again represented. |
