Handel by Jonathan Keates
A study of Handel's life and music, this biography follows the composer from his youth in Germany, through his successful Italian soujourns, to the opulence and squalor of Georgian London, where he triumphed in the face of obstacles that would have crushed men of lesser self-belief.
