Product Description

This Element shows why entertainment and festivity had important functions, in ritual, in community, in assuming power, and in resistance to power of early English life. The activities are child's play; drinking and feasting; music, dance, and performance; the pleasures of literature, festivals and celebrations; hunting and sport; and games.
