The Country Dance Book. Novello, 1909.John Forrest: Parts 2, 3, 4 & 6 are made up of Sharp's reconstructions ofnotations culled from a variety of editions of Playford. Many decisions thathe made have, in the light of more recent scholarship, been challenged,but it was this collection that began the revival of interest in Playforddances. Consequently, his reconstructions are still treated as authoritativeby many dancers despite their flaws. The set is accompanied by a series ofpiano scores from Sharp's pen.Sharp, Cecil JSharp, Cecil J, and Macilwaine, Herbert C. The Morris Book With aDescription of Dances As Performed By the Morris-Men of England.Yorkshire, England: EP Publishing, Limited, 1974.John Forrest: The first systematic notation of English morris dances basedon fieldwork with traditional dancers primarily in the South Midlands atthe beginning of the twentieth century. Sharp put forward the notion thatthese dances represented a continuous tradition from the Middle Ages andbeyond, but more recent analysis of the primary data indicates that morrisdances have undergone radical changes throughout their documentedhistory (starting in 1458). Thus the dances Sharp collected are a(reasonably) reliable index of nineteenth century traditions only.
