Bibliography: Biographies
Biographies that are potentially pertinent to singing. See also Historical Critics of Singers and Histories. The Diva's Descriptive Song Catalog also contains some short bios of poets and composers, and some of the links on the Music page can lead you to some biographical information that might be useful.
Please help keep this site alive by contributing your own books and reviews. See the bottom of every bibliography page for how.
