Abstract "Delius was sixty years old when Peter Warlock, under his real name Philip Heseltine, wrote this well-known life; and he was to live for a further eleven years. 'I am more convinced than ever of its quality,' Hubert Foss writes. 'The book is a work of art'. And to Mr. Foss has been given the task of writing a new and long introduction together with an additional chapter covering the last years of Delius' life. This new material, which includes a summary of critical commentary and a number of unpublished letters, will be of particular interest. Some personal reminiscences by Mr. Percy Grainger, a comprehensive list of Delius' published and unpublished works, with the date of first performance, and a bibliography, are also included in this entirely new edition, which will certainly come to be recognized as a standard work for many years to come."--Dust jacket.
