The Selected Letters of Bernard Devoto and Katharine Sterne

Informationen zum Autor Mark DeVoto, a son of Bernard and Avis DeVoto, is professor emeritus of music at Tufts University and a staff writer for the Boston Musical Intelligencer, with numerous publications in analysis of nineteenth- and twentieth-century music to his credit. Klappentext Bernard DeVoto (1897-1955) was a historian, critic, editor, professor, political commentator, and above all a writer of comprehensive skill. A busy man with a busy life, DeVoto found time to write and answer letters in abundance. In 1933 he received a fan letter from Katharine Sterne, a young woman hospitalized with tuberculosis; his reply touched off an extraordinary eleven-year correspondence. This volume contains 140 of their letters. They have been selected by DeVoto's son Mark, who has also provided detailed notes clarifying ambiguities and obscure references.
