Description

Explore the vital role of movement in Elizabethan society with Shakespeare and the Dance. Part of the Cambridge Studies in Sociology series, this book examines how dancing shaped life in Shakespeare's England. From town and country folk celebrating weddings and Maydays to the extravagant masques that delighted King James, dance was a central element of the era. Alan Brissenden provides a detailed look at the social spectrum of dance. You will learn how Queen Elizabeth used galliards to maintain fitness and how dancing served as a necessary accomplishment for gentlemen at the Inns of Court. While Puritans often denounced the practice, the book shows how dance functioned as an accepted symbol of harmony. This study offers a unique perspective on how Shakespeare used these social traditions within his work, providing deep insight into the cultural landscape of the time.
