History

Francis Gilbert Webb (1853-1941) was a well known English music critic and musicologist writing at the turn of the 19th century until 1932 as 'Lancelot" of The Referee. He wrote for several dailies: The Yorkshire Post, The Standard, Morning Post, Daily Telegraph, The Observer, and The Sunday Times. He was one of the founders of the Musical News and the Folk Song Society, and co-authored two books on music, Indian Music (1914) and Oostersche muziek (1921).

The collection consists of the correspondence files of Mr. Webb and the correspondence of Lady Monckton and a few other letters addressed to different people found in the Webb collection. The correspondence in Webb’s files includes letters from many music personalities such as Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, H. Lyell-Tayler, Sir Charles Parry, and Albert Visetti. Internal evidence in the collection does not explain how Lady Monckton’s correspondence became part of Francis Webb’s collection. Lady Monckton was the mother of Lionel Monckton, a friend of Webb. Lady Monckton, an amateur actress, was married to Sir John Monckton, London’s town clerk.

Provenance

The Francis Gilbert Webb Collection of Correspondence was acquired by the Library in the late 1970s. It consists of 715 letters plus some broadsides, news clippings, and photographs.

Organization

The collection is divided into two series. Letters written to Webb are grouped in Series I. They were written during the years 1889 through 1937 with most dating from 1889-1915. The authors were contemporary musical figures and readers of Webb's reviews. The 312 letters addressed to Lady Mockton and others are grouped in Series II. They are from musical, literary, theatrical, and political figures written between 1769 and 1933 with most having 19th century dates.
