Editorial Reviews

Review
"This book will take a founding place in the growing interdisciplinary field that conjoins dance and literary studies. It s well researched, well written and sustains an original and articulate argument that constitutes an important contribution to Renaissance literary and performative scholarship" - Mark Franco, University of California, Santa Cruz

Product Description
Scholar Skiles Howard examines the social and semiotic complexities of dance in Renaissance England as it changed over time and performed different work in court, city, and playhouse. Interdisciplinary in its approach, this well-researched study explores issues of power and the body, gender and rank, popular culture and European expansion. 20 illustrations.

3.0 out of 5 stars Politics of dancing... in performance, November 30, 2004
By E. F. Winerock (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book makes an important contribution to the young and growing field of dance history, but the title is somewhat misleading. Skiles Howard's conclusions about the politics of dancing are primarily drawn from theatrical texts such as masques and plays, as opposed to traditional political sources such as legislation, philosophical treaties, or court records. This is literary or performance history, as opposed to political history. On the other hand, the bibliography and notes provide an excellent survey of and guide to further reading on a variety of related topics.
