Though George Grove 1820-1900 was never a professional musician - neither performer, composer nor teacher - his is one of the most familiar names in music: as founder of the great Dictionary of Music and Musicians that bears his name and first director of the Royal College of Music. Yet, for most of his life Grove's energies and achievements were recognized in quite other fields: trained as a civil engineer, he became known as a distinguished administrator (as secretary of the Royal Society of Arts, and secretary of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham), as a noted biblical scholar and founder of the Palestine Exploration Fund, as editor of the widely influential Macmillan's Magazine, and as a very familiar figure on the London cultural scene. This book surveys Grove's achievements in the round, and the path that led to his musical eminence. Incorporating new research and with supporting documentation and illustration, it throws new light on the newly emerging culture of classical music in the 19th century, with its attendant need for information, to which Grove responded with vision.
