Britten is the most literary British composer of the twentieth century. As a result, both his responses to poetry and his collaborations with his librettists tell us a great deal about his music, and often, about the man himself. His relationship to the many and varied texts that he set was deeply committed and sensitive.
Chapters examine all aspects of Britten's text setting, from his engagement with a wide variety of poetry to his relationship with his librettists. This book takes a unique approach to Britten, drawing together well-known Britten experts alongside English, music, modern language and history scholars who bring their own perspective to bear on Britten's work. By approaching Britten's operas and songs through their literature, this book offers fresh insights into his vocal works.KATE KENNEDY is the Weinrebe Research Fellow in Life-writing at Wolfson College,
