This book provides a thorough analysis of terpsichorean lexis in
Renaissance drama. Besides considering not only the Shakespearean
canon but also the Bard's contemporaries (e.g., dramatists as John
Marston and Ben Jonson among the most refined Renaissance dance
aficionados), the originality of this volume is highlighted in both
its methodology and structure. As far as methods of analysis are
concerned, corpora such as the VEP Early Modern Drama collection
and EEBO, and corpus analysis tools such as #LancsBox are used in
order to offer the widest range of examples possible from early
modern plays and provide co-textual references for each dance.
Examples from Renaissance playwrights are fundamental for the
analysis of connotative meanings of the dances listed and their
performative, poetic and metaphoric role in sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century drama. This study will be of great interest to
Renaissance researchers, lexicographers and dance historians.
