- Summary
- The 'carole' was the principal social dance in France and England from c. 1100 to c. 1400 and was frequently mentioned in French and English medieval literature. However, it has been widely misunderstood by contributors in recent citations in dictionaries and reference books, both linguistic and musical. The 'carole' was performed by all classes of society- kings and nobles, shepherds and servant girls. Dr. Robert Mullally's focus is on details relevant to the history, choreography and performance of the dance as revealed in the primary sources.--[book jacket]
