Summary
One of the last composers of the Romantic era, Elgar was hailed as England's greatest composer since Purcell, but fell out of favor after World War I when modernism shook the world of music. Anderson's study spotlights Elgar's true achievement in forging an individual style from the legacy of Brahms and Wagner
