Morris dancing is one of the more peculiar of English folk customs, greatly misunderstood. Seen as a descendant of pagan folk ritual, scholastic history of morris dancing has been based on calendar customs and other preconceptions. Anthropologist John Forrest shows that morris dancing has neither pagan nor ancient origins, but was a product of its time. 28 illustrations.

In the middle of the 1970s, a storm swept through the world of Morris: women had started to dance what, up to then, had been widely considered to be a men-only tradition. John Cutting had joined Herga Morris in 1972 and was thus a newcomer at the time. What, then, was this Morris tradition? Was it entertainment? Was it some mystical rite?

Morris dancing, one of the more peculiar of the English folk customs, has been greatly misunderstood. Traditional scholarship on this custom has been based on the assumption that morris dancing is one of the pagan calendar rituals, a preconception held by many folklorists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Now, building upon his previous work with Michael Heaney of the Bodleian Library in Annals of Early Morris, John Forrest carefully analyses a wealth of evidence to show that morris dancing does not, in fact have pagan or ancient origins. His examination of early documentation draws morris traditions into the wider area of communal customs and public celebrations, showing the passage of dance ideas between groups of people who until now have been considered folklorically distinct. Careful, detailed, and encyclopedic, The History of Morris Dancing, 1458-1750 is an essential reference work for specialists in English drama and social historians of the period.

In editing this book Miss Brower has made a splendid contribution to folk dance literature. She has chosen to describe eleven characteristic Old English dances as performed by the "Morris men". The Morris Dance in its arrangement is very artistic. The few illustrations give one an idea of the costume of the "Morris men" and suggest the form of their dance positions. A comprehensive description of the "Morris step" is first given. Graphic illustrations of general and special positions follow. The diagrams used here are especially helpful. Special instructions and a detailed notation for the eleven dances complete the book. By a wise selection of devices Miss Brower has succeeded in making her descriptions very clear. -The American Schoolmaster, Volume 4
