In this engaging memoir Anthony Steel tells his story, from growing up in a wealthy steel manufacturing family - the Steels of Sheffield - where music was a fundamental part of daily life, to his triumphant staging of Adelaide's 1986 Festival of Arts, and his stewardship of other important artistic enterprises in Australia and elsewhere.
This 1941 monograph by historian Anthony Steel assesses the character and policies of Richard II, who reigned in a time of tremendous literary and artistic change which was also underpinned by great political and religious uncertainty. The book contains an introduction by distinguished historian G. M. Trevelyan.
