Reviews of
Sword Dancing in Europe
A History
by Stephen D. CorrsinJames R. Dow, Professor, Iowa State University, co-editor of The Nazification of an Academic Discipline: Folklore in the Third Reich
What an incredibly balanced approach to scholarship: assemble the literature through time, address the misdirected scholarship of the past, particularly the nationalistic, lace this with field observations, and indicate where future inquiries might best contribute to our understanding… we have a study which is so thorough and balanced in its approach and conclusions that it should appeal to anyone conducting research on folk dance. It is also a model for good research on other forms of folk expression.
Max Harris, Executive Director, Wisconsin Humanities Council, author of The Dialogical Theatre: Dramatizations of the Conquest of Mexico and the Question of the Other
a splendid book.
Roy Judge, Folklore Society, author of The Jack in the Green: A May Day Custom
…his delight in his subject is infectious… [Sword Dancing is] a genuinely pioneering book which both gathers together all that has been said in the past and also offers a secure base from which future scholarship can begin.
