Cloth, 4to, 29 cm, vii, xv, 54 pp,70 plates. From the blurb - " Subtitled 'An Historical Survey of Dancing in Europe', the work here reprinted is a lavishly illustrated volume using con temporary prints and illustrations to supplement a full and detailed text. The work, essentially in two parts, examines the history of the dance within its "Social" and "Spectacular" contexts. "Social" comprises a concise history from the earliest Greek dances through to the development of Jazz. This is the dance in its purest and most absolute form in which it rested for its expression solely upon its own instinctive and peculiar methods unaided by any art other than that of music from which in the nature of things it can never be divorced. The "Spectacular" is a natural development of the former, being a consideration of the dance used in combination and partnership with other arts as one of the elements of a composite form of entertainment known variously as mummings, disguisings, revels, masquerades or masques, an art form which finds its ultimate expression in the ballet. The very nature of the subject matter prevents placing before the reader a continuous narrative or orderly series of documents but here contained within this reprint are an authoritative detailed text and excellent pictorial history which determine the facts and broader tendencies which have shaped the course of the Dance.
