A new biography in the "extraordinary lives" series celebrates the 350th anniversary (in 2009) of Henry Purcell's birth. Professor Bruce Wood, a leading Purcell specialist, provides insights into the social and political developments during the seventeenth century that played a part in shaping the composer's career and musical output.
"[This book] is full of historical fact interwoven with documents of the time and Woods' clever writing style. Its inexpensiveprice belies its true worth to the musical community."--Donald Callen Freed, for the Choral Journal (April 2010)
