The “Country Dancers” in the Cambridge Comus of 1908
In July 1908 a production of Comus was staged at the New Theatre in Cambridge, an occasion which has been chiefly remembered for the emergence of Rupert Brooke as a charismatic leader amongst his contemporaries (Marsh 1918, xxxiv–xxv; Hassall 1964, 139–41 and 158–66; Delany 1987, 39–47). This present article is concerned with a hitherto unnoticed aspect of the event, namely its introduction of revival morris dances. The reasons for this are exami…
Merrie England and the Morris 1881–1910
DURING these three decades, 1881 to 1910, the use of the word 'Morris' could have conjured up several different kinds of image. Curiously enough, the least likely of these to come to mind would have been a version of what we might term the 'real' village morris, the kind of thing that Keith Chandler has recently dealt with so capably.' Far more probably the image would have been of what we might call 'Merrie England' morris, whether it was an abs…
The Morris in Lichfield
There was a full tradition of Morris Dances for eight men, in Lichfield, which somehow were missed by Cecil Sharpe [sic] when he made his great collections. Mr Roger Marriott, who has done much research into the history of the dances, found old reports of the 'Morice' dancers in their hair shirts dancing Sarabands and Chaconds. Old editions of the 'Mercury' also carry reports of the dancing. On the evening of Whit Monday the men of Mercia danced …
May Day and Merrie England
WITH Merrie we are in the sphere of folklorism, a subject that Venetia Newall introduced us to in her excellent presidential address of 1987.1 It is a world that has never actually existed, a visionary, mythical landscape, where it is difficult to take normal historical bearings. Raymond Williams, however, gave us that helpful image of an escalator moving backwards into time; so that each 'Old England' in the past in turn discloses its own nostal…
