About the Author
Ken Russell is one of the most original, vibrant, and groundbreaking film and television directors of the recent era. His finest films such as The Devils, The Music Lovers, and Women in Love are milestones in film history. A true visionary, Russell's work--invariably involving a very liberal treatment of sexuality--has always struggled with censorship and controversy. Although he is remembered for the rock opera Tommy and recently directed an innovative production of Madam Butterfly, Russell started out making drama documentaries on the lives of the great composers for the BBC series Monitor in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Elgar: The Erotic Variations and Delius: A Moment with Venus
Seller: Bill & Ben Books, Faringdon, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. This "novel biography" focuses a literary rather than camera lens on the private lives of Elgar and Delius --with no holds barred! In these new novel-biograhies Ken Russell reinvents the quintessentially English Edward Elgar (1857-1934) and Frederick Delius (1862-1934) for the printed page. Here the two musicians' --both provincial lads --come alive in a new way in biographical novels that are revealing yet boisterously entertaining --occasionally outrageous and iconoclastic. In Elgar: The Erotic Variation, Russell explodes his own myth of offering the last word on his subject. Here the man emerges from Victorian morality complete with mistresses and muses in the form of the women who captivated his soul, including his childhood sweetheart Helen Weaver and the emancipated headmistress Rosa Burley. Delius: A Moment with Venus is largely based on the recollections of the composer's amanuensis, Eric Fenby, who became a friend of the author during the making of the Monitor drama-documentary. Some of the extra-marital material in this novel was unknown to Russell when he made his film, but the baptism of Frederick Delius the Yorkshireman --as "Fritz" --is the hilarious starting point for the revelations about the secret life of this cantankerous old pagan genius.
