- catalog abstract "Henry Fothergill Chorley (1808-72) is best remembered today as the author of Thirty Years' Musical Recollections (1862), a lively and often-quoted memoir of operatic life in London. To his contemporaries, Chorley was best known for his weekly columns assessing all aspects of London's rich musical life for the respected and influential review, the Athenaeum. This book focuses on his once celebrated but now neglected musical journalism. For nearly forty years he effectively used his acerbic pen and idiosyncratic critical judgements to celebrate the works of Rossini, Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer, Gounod and Sullivan, and to scorn those of Schumann, Verdi and Wagner. The book also discusses his friendships with literary figures such as Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Felicia Hemans, as well as his ongoing efforts to establish himself as a novelist as well as a journalist.".
