Robert James Stove (born 1961, Sydney) is an Australian writer,[1] editor,[2] composer and organist.[3]
Biography
Born in 1961 in Sydney, but later resident in Melbourne, Stove graduated from Sydney University in 1985. He is the author of four books: Prince of Music—a biography of the composer Palestrina; The Unsleeping Eye—a brief history of secret police from the sixteenth to the twentieth century ; A Student's Guide to Music History—summary history of classical music from the Middle Ages to the Second World War; and most recently César Franck: His Life and Times. He has co-edited, with James Franklin, Cricket Versus Republicanism—a posthumously published collection of essays by his father, the philosopher David Stove (1927–1994). He converted to Roman Catholicism in 2002.[4]
Stove's articles have appeared in The American Conservative (he has been a contributing editor at that magazine since 2005), Chronicles, The New Criterion, Taki's Magazine, Modern Age, National Observer, News Weekly, The University Bookman, 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.
