  Andrew Draskoy: Includes transcription of " Le ballet de la royne de Cessile."
  Justin du Coeur: This is essentially what the title implies: a sweeping overview of all forms of dance (including some speculations about dance in the stone age!). It contains a fairly substantial section on the medieval and Renaissance periods; roughly pages 248-391 are relevant to these periods, before it moves thoroughly into the Baroque.
  The book is rather interesting, and tries to view everything from a very broad perspective. However, it should be noted that any book written in 1937 is inevitably going to have somewhat dated scholarship. The book concludes with a large selection of plates, all black and white, several of which are relevant to the Renaissance.

  John Forrest: Parts 2, 3, 4 & 6 are made up of Sharp's reconstructions of notations culled from a variety of editions of Playford. Many decisions that he made have, in the light of more recent scholarship, been challenged, but it was this collection that began the revival of interest in Playford dances. Consequently, his reconstructions are still treated as authoritative by many dancers despite their flaws. The set is accompanied by a series of piano scores from Sharp's pen.

  John Forrest: The first systematic notation of English morris dances based on fieldwork with traditional dancers primarily in the South Midlands at the beginning of the twentieth century. Sharp put forward the notion that these dances represented a continuous tradition from the Middle Ages and beyond, but more recent analysis of the primary data indicates that morris dances have undergone radical changes throughout their documented history (starting in 1458). Thus the dances Sharp collected are a (reasonably) reliable index of nineteenth century traditions only.
