Despite the composer's immense popularity in the nation during his lifetime and in the decades following his death, this is the first book to deal exclusively with the subject of Mendelssohn in England. Mendelssohn's highly successful ten trips to Britain, between 1829 and 1847, are documented and discussed in detail, as are his relationships with English musicians and a variety of prominent figures. An introductory chapter describes the musical life of England (especially London) at the time of Mendelssohn's arrival and the last two chapters deal with the composer's posthumous reception, to the end of the Victorian era. Eatock reveals Mendelssohn as a catalyst for the expansion of English musical culture in the nineteenth century. In taking this position, the author challenges much of the extant literature on the subject and provides an engaging story that brings Mendelssohn and his English experiences to life."--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aMusic in nineteenth-century Britain. 606 $aMusic$zEngland$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aEngland$xCivilization$y19th century 607 $aEngland$xDescription and travel 615 0$aMusic$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a780.92 700 $aEatock$b Colin.$f1958-,$0515535 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807287303321 996 $aMendelssohn and Victorian England$9855006 997 $aUNINA
