Product Description
What was this Morris tradition, entertainment, mystical rite, or some hybrid of the two? Where did it come from? After thirty years of dancing, teaching, and research, John Cutting attempts to answer these questions. From the earliest known references (1137 in Spain, 1448 in England) to the middle of the nineteenth century, Morris events are listed and examined. A parallel study looks at publications about Morris, from the Puritans down to the present day. Many illustrations portraying Morris or possible Morris dancers from the fourteenth century onwards are reproduced in the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 'must' , September 23, 2006

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Is Morris dance heritage mysticism, dance, or entertainment? It's long been shrouded in mystery, and research John Cutting spent some thirty years dancing, teaching and researching the Morris dance from its roots until 1850: HISTORY AND THE MORRIS DANCE: A LOOK AT MORRIS DANCING FROM ITS EARLIEST DAYS UNTIL 1850 follows its evolution and answers many questions. A 'must' for any college-level dance history holding.
