The Complete Lyrics of Cole Porter by Cole Porter
This work contains the complete body of lyrics by Cole Porter, comprising 800 songs, more than half of which were previously unpublished. These lyrics demonstrate Porter's artistic development and, through their wit and "jaunty sang-froid", tell something of the times in which he flourished.
Robert Kimball is a historian of the American musical theater whose books include The Gershwins (with Alfred Simon), Reminiscing with Sissle and Blake (with William Bolcom), Reading Lyrics (with Robert Gottlieb), and volumes devoted to the complete lyrics of Lorenz Hart, Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, and Frank Loesser. He is the longtime advisor to the Cole Porter Musical and Literary Property Trust, and the editor of several books on Cole Porter. He received a Drama Desk Award for his rediscovery of lost musical-theater manuscripts in a Secaucus, New Jersey warehouse.
