  Justin du Coeur: A reconstruction of Hole in the Wall, from The English Dancing Master (1698 edition), with extensive discussion of the SCA practice of "kidnapping" or "sharking", in which dancers switch partners during the course of the dance. Note that the reconstruction does *not* get into the details of the steps that would have been used in this period, but describes the dance as it is done today.

     John Forrest: The first version of this work was written before the microcomputer revolution and was an attempt to show how using a paper-and-pencil equivalent of a computer database one could use snippets of information on dances from primary sources to build up a "profile" of the dances for reconstructive or comparative purposes. The immediate point of this exercise was to demonstrate that morris dancing owed its chorographic character to courtly dances such as the matachin and not to some mythic ritual ancestor.

     Justin du Coeur: This book explores the motifs of motion found in the Renaissance, and tries to draw some conclusions about dance movement from them. Franko's writing style is extremely dense, making the book quite difficult to read, but he has some interesting things to say about the notion of movement as a form of communication. The book is very heavy on quotes; roughly a third of the text is quotes. Most quotes are given both in the original language and in English.
