In The History of Morris Dancing, 1458-1750 John Forrest analyses a wealth of evidence to show that Morris dancing does not, as is often assumed, have pagan or ancient origins. He examines early documentation to draw Morris traditions into the wide area of communal custom and public celebrations, showing the passage of dance ideas between groups previously considered folklorically distinct.\u003cbr\u003eCareful, detailed and encyclopaedic, The History of Morris Dancing, 1458-1750, is an essential reference work for specialists in English drama and social historians of the period, as well as offering fascinating insight for those who enjoy Morris dancing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Forrest\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0718897927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780718897925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lutterworth Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.93d","brand":"John Forrest","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48871389561087,"sku":"9780718897925","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-history-of-morris-dancing-john-forrest-9780718897925","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
