W. E. Haslam is an author about whom very little public information is available. It is known only that a single work appears under this name, Style in Singing. Judging from the title, the book discusses style and expression in singing, a subject within vocal art concerned with interpretation and aesthetic delivery, and is addressed to students of singing or readers interested in the art of song. Because no record of the author's life, nationality, identity, or other writings is available, his professional background and the circumstances of writing cannot be confirmed, nor can the book's specific place in vocal literature be assessed. On the available evidence, this work is the only clue to Haslam's writing, and its content presumably concerns the principles and practice of vocal style. Researchers may treat it as a historical text on questions of singing style, though any evaluation of its influence would require further sources.
