| Born in 1894 in the Savoy Hotel, London, Philip Heseltine (1894-1930), alias Peter Warlock, led an unorthodox and emotionally complex life from beginning to end. His extrovert, Bohemian lifestyle was in contrast to the miniaturist nature of his music and his work as author, critic and editor and transcriber of early music. This collection of the composer's letters (1899-1930), notable for the long correspondence with Frederick Delius, illuminates the intriguing story of Heseltine's life. With plates and an index. No jackets.
