[E.A. Bucchianeri · Rating 5 out of 5]

For anyone who has embarked on a research project concerning Handel and his life, this is one of the first books I would recommend. This a vast source of reprinted documentation, from personal letters to newspaper articles and contemporary criticism of Handel's life and work, all arranged in chronological order; - therefore it is an invaluable study aid. Definitely worth a five-star rating.
