Description: A lively exploration of the medieval and early modern attitudes towards dance, as the perception of dancers changed from saints dancing after Christ into cows dancing after the devil.
Brief description: LYNNETH MILLER RENBERG is an Assistant Professor of History at Anderson University. She teaches and publishes on religion, gender, performance, and emotion in medieval and early modern Europe.
Review Quotes: References and Appendices are extremely comprehensive and I must commend the use of Old English characters (Thorn and Yogh for instance) in printed excerpts of sermons. This isn't a book for the general reader, but as an academic publication, I would highly recommend it.-- "FACHRS"
