'What sets this book apart from the other writings overall about Glanville-Hicks is a glorious focus on the actual works themselves.' Notes "[T]he biographical narrative that Rogers employs to illuminate the connections between Glanville-Hicks' stylistic development and musical output and concurrent events in her personal and professional lives is sufficiently developed to provide a compelling and sympathetic introduction to this spirited composer's life as well as her works.' Fontes Artis Musicae 'Victoria Rogers has done us all a service in producing this first detailed discussion of the music of Peggy Glanville-Hicks, set against the background of her subject's often difficult and troubled life.' The Ralph Vaughan Williams Society Journal
