Additional information
Whereas a dominant theme in the historiography of folk song and dance has been one of tradition and national consciousness, this paper treats English folk dance as a leisure activity. It argues that in the twentieth century folk dance was imbued with values that set it outside contemporary notions of popular dance and as representing an imagined English consciousness.
