Bibliography
At the heart of his project is an attempt to explore the gap
between image and individual-in this case, between 'Handel' and
Handel. Handel as image, argues Hunter, is a phenomenon that has
superseded Handel the person.the care and intelligence with which
Hunter interrogates the facts of Handel's life, and their use by
biographers, should attract the attention of all readers interested
in the perils and pleasures of biography.
*EARLY MUSIC*
[A] unique contribution to Handel scholarship.
*MUSIC & LETTERS*
Handel was an early entrepreneurial composer: he owned his own
opera company, he borrowed from himself and others to increase his
musical output, and he was impressively resourceful for his time.
This study focuses on the multiple representations of Handel that
were at least partly a result of his legendary resourcefulness as
well as on questions that remain about his sexuality, health
(disability), nationalism, friends and acquaintances, and so
on.
