Note 129 — Chapter XIII · VERDI AND HIS CONTEMPORARIES
Reading edition
Space does not permit us to speak of Verdi’s personality, his private life, or the many honors and distinctions which came to him. The reader is referred to ‘Verdi: Man and Musician,’ by F. J. Crowest, New York, 1897, and ‘Verdi: An Anecdotic History,’ by Arthur Pougin, London, 1887.
