Significant Books and Music of the Century, Year by Year
1910 was the year that China abolished slavery; the Mexican Revolution began; Edward VII of Great Britain died and was succeeded by his son, who was crowned George V; and Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy died.


Significant Book of 1910:
E. M. Forster's Howards End

BOOK The personal and political intertwine in Forster's novel about two sisters of liberal and artistic temperament whose lives collide with those of a status-driven father and son. This exploration of class and money illuminated the changes taking place in Edwardian England.

  Significant Music of 1910:
 Igor Stravinsky's The Firebird

BOOK In Paris, impresario Serge Diaghilev presented THE FIREBIRD, a ballet with music by Igor Stravinsky. Although steeped in the lush orchestral style of the composer’s teacher, Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov, the blazing originality of Stravinsky's score brought the young Russian composer overnight fame.
