- This is the first scholarly monograph on Alan Bush, a prolific composer who engaged with major cultural and political organisations in Britain and the German Democratic Republic, and was a target of MI5 surveillance. The product of over ten years of research, the book draws on extensive scrutiny of archival sources, often being accessed for the first time, alongside critical readings of musical works. The monograph traverses music analysis, hermeneutics, reception history, literary history, and politics. Reviews have noted the substantial contribution not only to the study of Bush but to twentieth-century communism more widely.
