The Windflower Letters

The correspondence contains some of Elgar’s finest letters. In the first edition of this volume, published by Oxford University Press in 1989, Dr Moore reduced around one hundred letters, mostly written after the death of his wife Alice in 1920, to a passing reference, recording the source location in a footnote. In this new edition, the text of these letters is published in full, in most cases for the first time, in an 80-page appendix. Throughout the volume, minor errors in the text have been corrected, and footnote references have been updated ro record the relocation and re-cataloging of sources in the twenty-five years since the publication of the first edition. From the series Elgar: The Collected Correspondence, Series II, Vol. 2. Hardcover, 492 p.
