Emily Bronte and Beethoven: Romantic Equilibrium in Fiction and Music, by Robert K. Wallace (University of Georgia, 237 pp., $30)
He has done it again—unsurprisingly, for following Professor Wallace’s work has been a pleasing and edifying occupation for some while. His A Century of Music-Making: The Lives of Josef and Rosina Lhevinne (1976) is a graceful double biography crammed with remarkable information and charming anecdotes—a book no music-lover would want to miss, but also one that has the universal appeal of superb biography.
