R. J. Stove
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert James Stove (born 1961) is an Australian writer, editor, composer, and organist.
Born in Sydney, but currently resident in Melbourne, Stove is the author of two books: Prince of Music (a biography of the composer Palestrina) and The Unsleeping Eye (a brief history of secret police from the sixteenth century to the twentieth). He has also co-edited, with James Franklin, Cricket Versus Republicanism, a posthumously published collection of essays by his father, the philosopher David Stove.
Stove's articles have frequently appeared in The American Conservative (where he has been since 2005 a contributing editor), Chronicles, The New Criterion, and other magazines, predominantly American. Most of his musical works have been either choral or for solo voice; several are published by Wirripang of Wollongong, New South Wales.
