📢NEW BOOK ALERT!
Out now: 'The #Nordic #Minuet: Royal Fashion and Peasant Tradition', ed. by Petri Hoppu, Egil Bakka, & Anne Margrete Fiskvik!
This major new anthology of the minuet in the #Nordic countries comprehensively explores the dance as a #historical, #social and #cultural phenomenon.
One of the most significant dances in #Europe, with a strong symbolic significance in #Westerndance culture and dance scholarship, the #minuet has evolved a distinctive pathway in this region, which these rigorous and pioneering essays explore.
As well as situating the minuet in different #national and #cultural contexts, this collection marshals a vast number of sources, including images and films, to analyze the changes in the dance across time and among different classes.
🌟This book is essential reading for researchers, students and practitioners of #dance; #musicologists; and #historical and #folkdancers.
