Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Peter Warlock is one of the several pseudonyms adopted by the critic, researcher, editor and composer, Phillip Heseltine (1894-1930). Previous studies of Warlock have almost all been exclusively biographical, using the pseudonyms as evidence of a split personality and applying this and the other controversial aspects of his life-style to an evaluation of his music.

Bibliography: p. 344-352 - Includes index.
