A fascinating study of ecclesiastical attitudes to dance in pre-modern England * Church Times *
A fascinating study of ecclesiastical attitudes to dance in pre-modern England * Church Times * Women, Dance and Parish Religion represents a new and welcome contribution within dance historical research, bringing to light a textual archive never before mined for what it tells us about premodern and early modern attitudes toward dance, gender, and religion. * CHURCH HISTORY * References and Appendices are extremely comprehensive and I must commend the use of Old English characters (Thorn and Yogh for instance) in printed excerpts of sermons. This isn't a book for the general reader, but as an academic publication, I would highly recommend it. * FACHRS *

Reveals fascinating conceptions about dance and religion in the Middle Ages and early modernity. * JOURNAL OF BRITISH STUDIES * The title of this book is very appropriate. It provides a study on how religion shifted in English parish churches during the late medieval and early modern periods, how those changes impacted women, and the use of dance in worship. Renberg's copious footnotes allow the interested reader to dig more deeply into the subject. * ANGLICAN AND EPISCOPAL HISTORY *
