Excerpt from George Frideric Handel: His Personality and His Times
I have endeavoured, rather, to outline Handel the Man the striking personality that never admitted defeat, but rose superior to whatever powers a surfeit of enemies could and did exert. In order to convey, however poorly, this Handel, I have attempted to sketch a background of the times in which he lived, and the people with whom he had to deal.
