A young musician is drawn into the political turmoil surrounding the Duke of Monmouth’s rebellion against James II. Court music, popular enthusiasm and military defeat place artistic ambition beside the dangerous demands of allegiance.
The final English Commonwealth novel brings the sequence to the later Stuart succession crisis. Henry Purcell’s musical world provides a cultural counterpoint to rebellion, repression and the political arguments that preceded the Glorious Revolution.
