The 300th anniversary of Henry Purcell's death in 1995 stimulated a
good deal of new research into his music, its sources, performance,
reception and cultural context. The 23 articles in this volume have
been chosen by Peter Holman as a representative selection of the
best scholarly writing over the last few decades, featuring most of
the leading Purcell scholars, including Curtis Price, Robert
Thompson, Robert Shay, Bruce Wood, Rebecca Herissone, and
Christopher Hogwood, though it also includes some earlier classic
articles, by Michael Tilmouth, Richard Luckett, Margaret Laurie and
others. The four sections are 'Biography and Contexts', 'Sources,
Editing and Publishing', 'Styles, Genres and Compositional
Process', and 'Performance, Performance Practice and Reception'.
Peter Holman's introduction explores the history of Purcell
scholarship, reviews its present state, comments on the
significance of the articles, and offers a prospect for the future.
