Between 1901 and 1938 Cyril Rootham was an inspiring leader of music at Cambridge: as conductor of many memorable performances, as organist and musical director at St John's College, and as a teacher, whose pupils included Arthur Bliss, he exerted a deep and lasting influence. These achievements have unduly obscured his distinction as a composer. His output includes two remarkable symphonies, an opera, chamber music, some fine songs, and many beautiful choral works, chief of which is the notable setting of Milton's Nativity Ode.

Some Bicentennial Reflections by Angus Wilson
'The appreciation of Jane Austen's wonderful novels has been bedevilled by deforming partisan attitudes,' Professor Wilson claims. For too long both her admirers and detractors have been preoccupied by that perfect unity that arises from the narrow social, moral and dramatic range of her work. He argues for a recognition of the exciting variety of solutions that she offers for her characters' dilemmas and he examines the ways in which the novels reflect their author's deeply divided nature.
