Short biography
"Robertson was educated at the Royal Academy of Music and served in the army from 1914-18 in India, Egypt and Palestine. In 1919 he lectured on music at various evening institutes and in 1920 joined the staff of the Gramophone Company, of which he later became the director. In 1930 he studied in Rome and became a priest. Books on Gregorian plainchant, on church music and other musical subjects followed. He joined the BBC in 1939, and remained there until his retirement in 1952. He produced many programs for the BBC relating to music. For many years he reviewed records for the Gramophone, and served as the magazine’s music editor from 1952-72."

Author Disambiguation

How many authors?

Alec Robertson is currently considered a "single author." If one or more works are by a distinct, homonymous authors, go ahead and split the author.

This entry includes…

Combine with…

What?

Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?

A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.

Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?

A: Yes you can.

Q: I know an author is separate, but some miscreant, whose high-spirited japery will land him in no end of trouble, keeps combining them!

A: Yes you can.

Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.

Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?

A: No authors.

Q: I am the miscreant and I'm right!

A: Take it to the Combiners group.
