- Summary:
- The definitive account of Vincenzo Bellini's life and work. Set against a vivid portrayal of the social and political times, it demolishes the myths -- among them Bellini's reputation as a child prodigy -- and appraises his six major operas and his successful transition from classicism to romanticism.
- This superb work includes personal letters, intimate details of relationships with men and women, an interpretation of the biopsy report explaining the circumstances of his tragic death and previously unseen illustrations from the early 1800s.

- Includes bibliographical references and index.
