Dance History
Originally published in 1983, the first edition of
Dance History
rapidly established
itself as a core student text. Now fully revised and updated it remains the only
book to address the rationale, processes 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, social and theatrical contexts, the editors have brought together
a team of internationally known dance historians. Roger Copeland and
Deborah Jowitt each take a controversial look at American modern dance;
Kenneth Archer and Millicent Hodson explain the processes they go through
when reconstructing ‘lost’ ballets, and Theresa Buckland and Georgina Gore
examine 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 as well as presenting examples of dance writing at
its very best.
Professor Janet Adshead-Lansdale
is now Head of the Dance Department
at the University of Surrey, a post previously held by Professor June Layson
until her retirement.
In 1992
Professor Layson
was awarded the title of Emeritus Professor in
acknowledgement of her contribution to the study of dance.
