These letters see Britten in his prime; correspondents include Christopher Isherwood, Edith Sitwell, Edward Sackville-West, librettists E. M. Forster (Billy Budd) and Myfanwy Piper (The turn of the screw), musical colleagues such as Francis Poulenc, Aaron Copland and Peter Pears, Britten's partner. There is a significant meeting with Igor Stravinsky. The period is vividly evoked by the comprehensive and scholarly annotations. Donald Mitchell contributes an introduction exploring Benjamin Britten's creativity and an essay examining, for the first time, the complex relationship between the composer and the writer Edward Sackville-West
