Harry, its interesting you mention Purcell, I had a similar experience with Dido and Aeneas which lead me to read the Aeneid.
Richard and Dixie you guys are neither boring nor thread-jacking, for me, these backgrounds breathe life back into books that at first appear dead. And is a heck of a lot more interesting than wikipedia articles or sparknotes.
