Review
By presenting the Purcellian playbooks in an appropriate context of the practice and aesthetics of their period, this book may help to give us what we still lack in terms of an adequate discourse for their modern stage realization ... In an enjoyably no-nonsense account of the respective playbooks ... Andrew Pinnock, sniping mercilessly en route at printers, editors and bibliographers, underlines the discrepency between the words as imparted to us on the page and the necessary lopping and pruning likely to have taken place before the theatrical premieres ... By presenting the purcellian playbooks in an appropriate context of the practice and aesthetics of their period, this book may help to give us what we still lack in terms of an adequate discourse for their modern stage realisation. (Michael Burden, Times Literary Supplement )
