I am a published author in a number of fields, living in the UK, with wide interests in history, literature, the arts, etc etc. So far I have concentrated here on musical topics (chiefly but by no means exclusively Johannes Brahms and his circle, and the circle around Arnold Schoenberg) as well as topics connected with the Hundred Years' War, 19th-century British naval history, and Portuguese history of various periods. I've have also done some necessary work on the writings of Jack Vance.
