No medieval material. Presents data to complement the same author's Ribbons Bells & Squeaking Fiddles.
This work both analyses and catalogues historical and sociological aspects of the performance of a distinct form of morris dancing which was practised in the South Midland counties of Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Buckinghamshire and small protions of Berkshire and Wiltshire during the period 1660-1900. One hundred and fifty-one locations have been identified as having fielded a morris dance side between these dates. A separate entry for each of these will be found in this volume, where a chronology of performances is constructed, biographical details of over seven hundred participants given, and a comprehensive bibliography of primary sources presented.
