Diana McVeagh obituary
The writer Diana McVeagh, who has died aged 98, carved a niche for herself as a particular authority on the composers Edward Elgar and Gerald Finzi. Indeed she may aptly be described as the doyenne of Elgar studies, which previously had been a largely male preserve. While still in her 20s she was invited by the scholar Eric Blom, as an adviser to the publishers Dent, to write a book about Elgar. The result, published as Edward Elgar: His Life and Music (1955), preceded three other major postwar biographies (by Jerrold Northrop Moore, Michael Kennedy and Robert Anderson), though Diana outlived those writers. Replete with insight and characterised by the bold, sometimes controversial, judgments that she became known for in later years, it was a remarkable achievement. Revisiting the subject in Elgar the Music Maker (2007) half a century later, she did not hesitate to revise some of those judgments in the light of experience. In the 1950s, for example, she had not been able to hear the pre-Gerontius cantatas, of which she was quite dismissive, in performance. In the later book, with the benefit of subsequent commercial recordings, she made amends by discussing those works, not least Caractacus and The Light of Life, at some length and with greater admiration. It was the high opinion of the 1955 Elgar book held by Finzi that persuaded the latter's family, on his death the following year, to approach Diana to undertake his life and works. 'We were charmed by her bright personality,' wrote Finzi's widow, Joy, 'a great character for one so apparently demure and young.' It was a work long in gestation, not least because the trove of unpublished correspondence and other previously unseen material released by the family needed to be absorbed (though a good deal of this had already been incorporated in Stephen Banfield's fine appraisal of 1997). Diana's biography finally appeared in 2005, and her monumental edition of the letters, 1,052 pages in length, scrupulously annotated, followed in 2021. Diana was born in Ipoh, the capital of the state of Perak in the then British colony of Malaya, where her father, John McVeagh, was the manager of a rubber plantation. Her mother, Margaret, had studied singing with Harry Plunket Greene at the Royal College of Music, London. The family returned to her mother's homeland in the Welsh valleys when Diana was five years old, but at the age of 10 she was sent to Malvern girls' college, where she remained for eight years before going to the Royal College of Music in 1944. Her intention had been to study the piano with Kathleen Long, but arriving with one hand broken in a recent riding accident, she took instead weekly lessons with Frank Howes, music critic of the Times. This in turn led to her filing a review of Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius for the paper in 1948, the first of many she contributed over the following two decades. From 1964 to 1967 she acted as assistant editor to Andrew Porter on the Musical Times. She subsequently joined the editorial board of the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, with particular responsibility for performers, and contributing the articles on Elgar and Finzi. In addition to Musical Times, she contributed many articles to such periodicals as The Listener and Records and Recordings. Despite her somewhat feline protective aura, Diana was a warm-hearted, encouraging colleague, not least to those of us fortunate to work with her at New Grove. For three years she suffered from the debilitating disease myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME or chronic fatigue syndrome) before relinquishing her editorial responsibilities to spend more time with her husband, Bill (CW) Morley, a pathologist, in his advancing years. Among the bold judgments of Elgar in her youthful study is the observation that he 'was never to surpass the poetic delicacy of Stanford or the unselfconscious nobility of Parry at their best, and they could never have written anything as meretricious as Elgar at his worst'. Her chapter on Elgar's character is a minor masterpiece of insight into the polarities by which his nature was marked: caustic, tactless, boisterous on the one hand, generous, warm-hearted and sensitive on the other. Attributing that sensitivity in part to Elgar's inferiority complex, which made him 'alive to the problems of others', she is frank too about his lapses into small-mindedness and bigotry – the result, perhaps, of his lack of a formal education. She also wrote sentiently about the traumatic impact of the death in 1920 of Elgar's wife on his creative impulses and zest for life. Surprisingly dismissive about late works such as the Piano Quintet and Violin Sonata, she made amends in Elgar the Music Maker by acknowledging the ghostly, evocative passages of the former, and the poetic and reflective material of the latter, which raise these works to a superior level. The Finzi biography, like both the Elgar books, was distinguished by the wit and elegance of its prose style, as well as the author's ear for nuance in the music. As she aptly pointed out, to experience Finzi's celebrated choral work Intimations of Immortality as merely euphonious and benign is to miss the desolation at its heart. She married Morley in 1950; he died in 1994. Diana Mary McVeagh, writer, born 6 September 1926; died 2 July 2025

Countdown star Susie Dent to appear at Monmouth theatre
The best-selling author will appear at The Blake Theatre on Sunday, September 28, with her show Word Perfect. She will unravel the mysteries of the English language, including why owls form a parliament and which orange came first, the fruit or the colour. This follows her successful 74-date tour, The Secret Life Of Words, which ran from 2018 to 2024. Speaking about her new tour, Ms Dent said: "The English language will never stop surprising and delighting me: it is as wayward as it is majestic, while the dictionary is as full of magic, drama, and adventure as you will find anywhere. "I can't wait to walk down some more of its secret alleyways with the Word Perfect audiences, and to hear their own questions about our curious mother tongue." Ms Dent has spent more than three decades in Dictionary Corner on Countdown and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. She was appointed an MBE in 2024, the same year her debut novel, Guilty by Definition, was published. She will have two new books, Words For Life, and The Roots We Share: 100 Words That Bring Us Together, released this autumn.

‘Fantastic': Australia's big gender gap win
Australia has recorded its best ever gender equality ranking in a major global report, but the government is being warned not to rest on its laurels. After placing 24th last year in the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report, Australia has jumped 11 places and is now 13th out of 148 countries. It is Australia's best result since the report began in 2006 and a far cry from our country's record low 50th place in 2021. The ranking jump is attributed to improvements in female political empowerment, economic participation and educational attainment. Australia ranked well in education, with joint first in literacy rate, primary education enrolment and university enrolment. Minister for Women Katy Gallagher said it was a 'fantastic result' for Australia. Minister for Women Katy Gallagher celebrated Australia's result. NewsWire / Martin Ollman Credit: News Corp Australia 'When the Albanese Labor Government was first elected in 2022, we said that improving the lives of women and girls was one of our key focuses, and today's result – our best ever – shows we are delivering on that commitment,' Senator Gallagher said. 'Whether it is investing in women's wages and economic opportunities, investing in sexual and reproductive healthcare, or investing in policies to address women's safety and tackling gender-based violence, our government is backing up words with action.' Parenthood chief executive Georgie Dent celebrated the 'meaningful' changes by the government, but called on them to continue the 'significant work' still to do on measures such as parental leave. 'These results show us that government policy can and does make a tangible difference in achieving the goal of true gender equity and they underscore the need for us to go further,' Ms Dent said. CEO of The Parenthood Georgie Dent called on the government to continue reforms to maintain the progress. NewsWire / Martin Ollman Credit: News Corp Australia 'We're calling on the Albanes Labor Government to build on this progress by increasing paid parental leave entitlement to 52 weeks at replacement wage, with superannuation included – bringing us in line with international best practice.' Ms Dent also called on the government to cement its promised universal childcare reforms. 'These measures will bring us closer to achieving true gender equity in Australia and in doing so will improve outcomes for children, boost workforce participation, support families and strengthen communities and our economy,' Ms Dent said. Senator Gallagher acknowledged there would still be more work to come, but insisted the result showed that the Albanese government was 'shifting the dial'. 'We know there is always more work to do, and this report will help to inform our work on gender equality over the next three years,' she said.
