This is a corrected reissue, in Clarendon Paperbacks format with a new cover, of Michael Kennedy's classic book.

In this biography by one of England's foremost writers on music, William Walton's personality emerges in all its complexity and self-contradiction. Michael Kennedy portrays a creative artist completely committed to his art yet plagued by misgiving and doubts, prey to insecurity and frustration, vulnerable to criticism, and jealous of the achievement of others. At the same time he was witty and generous, bore no grudges, and enjoyed the loyalty of a host of friends. Kennedy's compassionate and perceptive biography will be welcomed by all devotees of Walton and his music.
