The Irish Border
This is the first book-length treatment of the Irish border and related themes since Heslinga’s controversial The Irish Border as a Cultural Divide (3rd edn 1979). The approach is multidisciplinary and the papers focus on Partition and the history of the border, attitudes North and South of the border, political and cultural aspects of the border, cross-border relations and current developments concerning the border, including its European dimension. Contributors are Paul Arthur, Ged Martin, Ian S. Wood, Steve Bruce, Etain Tannam, Ullrich Kockel, Máiréad Nic Craith, Owen Dudley Edwards and Eberhard Bort.
The Eloquent Body
"This book adds an entirely new dimension to the consideration of Humanism and Italian culture. It will make a welcome addition to the field of cultural studies by broadening the subject to consider an important source of information that has been previously overlooked." -- Timothy McGee The Eloquent Body offers a history and analysis of court dancing during the Renaissance, within the context of Italian Humanism. Each chapter addresses different philosophical, social, or intellectual aspects of dance during the 15th century. Some topics include issues of economic class, education, and power; relating dance treatises to the ideals of Humanism and the meaning of the arts; ideas of the body as they relate to elegance, nobility, and ethics; the intellectual history of dance based on contemporaneous readings of Pythagoras and Plato; and a comparison of geometric dance structures to geometric order in Humanist architecture.

Ringleaders of Redemption
In popular thought, Christianity is often figured as being opposed to dance. Throughout the medieval era, the Latin Church denounced and prohibited dancing, often aligning it with demonic intervention, lust, pride, and sacrilege. However, Ringleaders of Redemption reveals how the historical sources - including biblical commentaries, sermons, saints' lives, ecclesiastical statutes, mystical treatises, vernacular literature, and iconography from France, Italy, Germany, England, Spain, and beyond - tell a different story. During the High and Late Middle Ages, Western theologians, liturgists, and mystics not only tolerated dance; they transformed it into a dynamic component of religious thought and practice.
