Note:"Although widely regarded as the greatest operatic achievement of seventeenth-century England, Dido and Aeneas is surrounded by conflicting theories on its origin and chronology. In this thirtieth-anniversary edition of her groundbreaking book, Ellen T. Harris closely examines these theories and traces the performance history of the work, shedding light on the inherent mutability of this opera that continues to hold a fascination for audiences." --Provided by publisher.
