the English Musical Renaissance, and the intersections between
British music and the visual arts. The publication of her monograph
Composing History should appear from Boydell and Brewer in Spring
2016 and she prepared an English edition of the memoires of the
late eighteenth-early nineteenth century Italian composer and
teacher Giacomo Ferrari. Deborah has taught at the University of
