This dual biography of Ivor Gurney and Marion Scott tells the dramaticstory of two geniuses who met at the Royal College of Music in 1911 andformed an unlikely partnership that illuminated and enriched the musicaland literary worlds in which they moved. Gurney's poetry and songs havetaken their place as part of the inheritance of England. Scott,Gurney's strongest advocate, emerges from his shadow for the first time.Her own remarkable achievements as a pioneering music critic,musicologist, advocate of contemporary music and women musicians place her among the most influential and respected women of her generation.Based on original research, this is the first biography of Gurney since1978 and the only biography of Scott. It offers new, in-depthperspectives on Gurney's attempts to create music and poetry whilestruggling to overcome the bipolar illness that eventually derailed hisgenius, and restores Marion Scott's rightful place in music history.Pamela Blevins is a former journalist and managing editor of Signature, a magazine about women in classical music.
