Description
"William Beckford: Composing for Mozart" by Timothy Mowl, published by John Murray, London, UK, 1998. First Edition.
Dust jacket with un-clipped price of L 22.00 on the front flap; hard boards, original publisher's cloth with silvery lettering on spine; 6.1/4" x 9.1/2"; 324 pages including Index + one block with illustrations on glossy paper, very good condition.
"I knew nothing about William Beckford, when stumbled upon the Fonthill architectual designs by accident and was enchanted by them, then when I researched further I found this gentleman to be quite compelling and if not conflicted, rather neurotic. A remarkable life, little known, but should be and this book will assist in that effort quite well." [a private review]
