Challenging residual doubts about Vaughan Williams's role and significance within twentieth-century music and culture, this book places and explores his life and music in their broad musical, cultural, social, and political contexts. Chapters by scholars from a range of disciplines re-evaluate the composer's life and career within a world marked by both rapid change and refigured traditions. Building on scholarship that has established Vaughan Williams as aesthetically and politically progressive, the book furthers a revisionist perspective by broadening understandings of the nature of his responses to the twentieth century. This portrait of a modern composer emerges not merely by focusing on under-represented interests and pursuits, but also by contextualizing those activities that have been misrepresented as conservative or backward-looking.

Onderdonk, Julian: - Julian Onderdonk is a Professor of Music History at West Chester University of Pennsylvania. He has published on Vaughan Williams's folk-song collecting, hymn-tune editing, and political beliefs in various journals and book collections, including Folk Music Journal and The Cambridge Companion to Vaughan Williams (2013).

Owen, Ceri: - Ceri Owen is Lecturer in Performance and Director of Performance at the Department of Music, University of Birmingham. She has published articles on Vaughan Williams in leading journals, following the completion of a DPhil on the composer's work at the University of Oxford.
