In this vivid portrait, Bruce Wood illuminates the sometimes shadowy figure of Henry Purcell, richly evoking the atmosphere of 17th-century England. By interweaving the events during a period of social and political change with the life and music of Purcell, Wood creates an account of this elusive English genius that is hard to put down.
