Palmer presents a lively, readable overview of the harpsichord's return to musical life in this country, often relying on the observations of contemporary writers, both in the press and in letters. Where necessary, he spreads beyond the confines of the title, both in time and geographically, to put his content in context. This is essentially a book about people, and Palmer presents them warts and all. Occasionally, he drops in a bit of information that is never followed up, and some readers may quibble that this or that person or anecdote has been left out. Nevertheless, Palmer has done exhaustive research, and the result is enlightening and informative, a valuable contribution on a subject not covered like this before. For general and music libraries.
