| Résumé : | The author analyses two biographies of Benjamin Britten and points out certain links between the composer's family history, his sexual preferences and his creative musical activities. Britten's creative work reflects the mental elaboration of his homosexual attraction to young adolescents. In particular, the creation of three of his major operas, 'Peter Grimes, 'The Turn of the Screw' and 'Death in Venice' appears as the creative results of three particularly intense periods of this painful elaborative process. |
