Items related to Gerontius
The starting point of this novel is an event in the life of Sir Edward Elgar - a cruise to the Amazon that he took in 1923. In telling the story of that journey the author explores melancholy, the waning of creative genius, post-war disillusionment and the way in which England treats its artists.

Review:
'Elgar emerges more vividly than any biography could make him - crusty, petulant, self-deprecating, egotistical, boyishly keen on 'japes', and grateful for the last secret promptings of a dwindling muse. An original and beautifully written debut' Sunday Times 'A novel which is unafraid of ideas and where the writing gives a constant reinforcement of pleasure' Sunday Telegraph
