Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The international success of 'Riverdance' has focused new attention on Irish dance which is the subject of this first history of what has become an international cultural phenomenon. Tracing the history of dance back to early accounts of dance customs in medieval Ireland, the book then focuses on the developments of the 18th century before exploring how dance has played a vital role in the formation of a new national culture. Authoritative bust accessible to the general reader, the author provides a wealth of anecdotes that make this a fascinating and lively account. Illustrated.
