- Title
Review of: Andreas Schlegel, Die Laute in Europa - The Lute in Europe.
- Authors
Hodgson, Martyn
- Abstract
Recent years have seen publication of a few books on the lute which have gone some way to filling the generally recognised gap in readily available lute literature (including Matthew Spring's The Lute in Britain, OUP, 2001 and Douglas Alton Smith's A History of the Lute from Antiquity to the Renaissance, LSA, 2002). However, despite some claims to be comprehensive works on the instrument and its music, by and large these have dealt principally with lute composers and the music and have had relatively little to say about the detailed development of the instrument itself. Occasional papers in various journals (including the Lute Society Journal, Journal of the Lute Society of America, Galpin Society Journal, FoMRHI Quarterly, Early Music) do, of course, contain much more information, but these are not widely available or consolidated into a single overview of the instrument and its many variants. It is partly this lacuna which Andreas Schlegel seeks to cover with his book.
