English Music (novel) English Music is the sixth novel by Peter Ackroyd. Published in 1992, it is both a "bildungsroman" and, in the words of critic John Barrell, "partly a series of rhapsodies and meditations on the nature of English culture, written in the styles of various great authors." As with all Ackroyd's previous novels, it focuses on London, although on this occasion partly as a backdrop for English culture in general.
