Originally published in 1983 the first edition rapidly established
itself as a core student text. Now fully revised and up-dated it
remains the only book to address the rationale, process, techniques
and methodologies specific to the study of dance history. For the
main body of the text which covers historical studies of dance in
its traditional and performance contexts, the editors have brought
together a team of internationally known dance historians. Roger
Copeland and Deborah Jowitt each take a controversial look at the
modern American dance. Kenneth Archer and Millicent Hodson explain
the processes they use when reconstructing 'lost' ballets, and
Theresa Buckland and Georgina Gore write on traditional dance in
England and West Africa respectively. With other contributions on
social dance, ballet, early European modern dance and feminist
perspectives on dance history this book offers a multitude of
starting points for studying dance history as well as presenting
examples of dance writing at its very best. Dance History will be
an essential purchase for all students of dance.
