In his lifetime, the composer of Manon, Werther and Thais was one of the most respected musicians in Europe. After his death in 1912, his work - too sensual for the age of Modernism - fell from favour, and only in recent decades have his originality and power been acknowledged again. In addition to a thorough account of Jules Massenet's life and work, this seminal, meticulously researched biography presents a vibrant picture of the Paris of the Belle Epoque in which he flourished.
