Gurney's poetry and songs have  taken their place as part of the inheritance of England. Scott,  Gurney's strongest advocate, emerges from his shadow for the first time.  Her own remarkable achievements as a pioneering music critic,  musicologist, advocate of contemporary music and women musicians place her among the most influential and respected women of her generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Based on original research, this is thefirst biography of Gurney since  1978 and the only biography of Scott. It offers new, in-depth  perspectives on Gurney's attempts to create music and poetry while  struggling to overcome the bipolar illness that eventually derailed his  genius, and restores Marion Scott's rightful place in music history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Pamela Blevins is a former journalist and managing editor of \u003ci\u003eSignature\u003c\/i\u003e, a magazine about women in classical music.
