Educated at Cranbrook School, and Cambridge and York Universities, M.W. Rowe is now lecturer in aesthetics at Birkbeck College, University of London. He has published many articles in philosophy and literary criticism, some of which are collected in Philosophy and Literature: A Book of Essays (Ashgate, 2004), but he has long had an interest in nineteenth-century music, particularly the repertoire for violin and for piano. A violinist himself, he has given several performances of Ernst's music.
