Negative Positive
Title: The Religious Right cleans up the lives of great composers.
Review: The central idea that this book presented was initially very fascinating to me, but upon reading it, I realized that what the author does here is to omit obvious, well-known facts about the lives of many of the composers in order to present a very clean-living group who supposedly were very religious. For example, Richard Wagner's repeated adulterous relationships are not even mentioned; Franz Schubert was a homosexual who died of syphilis, but in this book there is no mention of his sexuality, and he is said to have died of "typhus." Truth is the victim of the biased viewpoints presented in this book.
