Book Reviews
Historical Dance is an occasional publication: the frequency of issues depends on the quantity of material received. In order to make book reviews available to readers in a more timely fashion, they will appear here as pdf files, pending publication of the next issue. Publishers wishing to submit books for review should contact the editor.
