Dancing was an essential part of life in Shakespeare's England, and it occurs in almost all of Shakespeare's plays from 1607 onwards. In this reprint of an essential text Dr. Brissenden shows that for Shakespeare it was also an accepted symbol of harmony, and was regularly used by him to express one of his major themes, the attempt to achieve order in a discordant world. The author, who is a dance critic as well as a Shakespearean scholar, has drawn on manuscript sources, a wide range of writings of the period, including dance manuals, and his own experience of dance and theatre to produce a book which is essential reading for students, scholars, theatre directors and all those interested in Renaissance dance and theatre.
