During the years 1864-1965, Col. John S. Mosby and his Rebel rangers tormented Union troops in Northern Virginia. Penetrating enemy lines at will, Mosby spanked a general in his bed before carrying him off as war booty, emptied $172,000 from a Federal payroll train, and taught the arrogant General Custer that two can play the game of brutal murder. By war's end a frustrated General Sheridan had sent 5,000 men to burn all of Loudoun County in a fruitless attempt to trap him. The bounty on Mosby's head was never claimed.

Using a mix of broad stylistic observation and detailed analysis, Adams distinguishes between late-seventeenth-century English style in general and Purcell's style in particular, and chronicles the changes in the composer's approach to the main genres in which he worked, especially the newly emerging ode and English opera. As a result, Adams reveals that although Purcell went through a marked stylistic development, encompassing an unusually wide range of surface changes, special elements of his style remained constant.
