It's that time again. Notebook ready? Study up on Benjamin Britten's The Turn of the Screw with our guide to the best online resources available: Click/Read/Watch/Listen [pdf].Explore the life of Benjamin Britten, from his early compositions to apotheosis as England's great composer of the 20th century. Watch video of his BBC broadcasts with tenor Peter Pears or a cheesy and controversial 1982 film version of the opera (dubbed with fantastic vocal performances, I might add). Read the full text of Henry James' original novella or a humourous abridged version of Myfanwy Piper's libretto. There is much to discover and the links await, so go click, read, watch and listen.
