About the author

Lorenz Hart

The lyrical genius of the Rodgers and Hart partnership, Hart brought unprecedented sophistication, irony, and interior psychological honesty to Broadway lyrics. His wordplay and rhymes were virtuosic; his themes of unrequited love reflected his own lonely life. He died of alcoholism at 48.
