KING, ROBERT. — Henry Purcell.
London: Thames and Hudson, 1994. 0500016259. 1st edition. "Robert King weaves a masterly narrative, bringing together politics (always in the forefront of Purcell's fortunes), religion, society and the theatre. Relating all this to the state of music at the time - instruments, techniques, foreign influences, formal innovations - he has produced the definitive portrait to herald Henry Purcell's tercentenary." 26cms x 16cms.
