Notes

1. Shorter, “La Vie Intim”, pp.340ff.

2. W. Gaerte, Volksglaube und Brauchtum Ostpreussens (Würzberg, 1956), pp.1-7.

3. Michael R. Marrus, ‘Modernisation and Dancing in rural France: From La Bourée to Le Fox-Trot’, p.5. Professor Marrus’s insights dealing with dancing in traditional and modern society provided me with a valuable framework within which to deal with the topic of dancing and popular religion and morality around 1830. I am indebted to him for sending me his paper, which is being prepared for publication.

5. Shorter, “La Vie Intim” pp.341-2; I have looked through the ‘Visitation’ reports for the eighteenth century in the diocese of Munich for complaints of this nature and found none whatsoever.

16. References to these carnivals are frequent; see, for example, Nikolaus Kyll, ‘Zur Geschichte der Kirmes und ihres Brauchtums in Trierer Lande und in Luxemburg’, Rheinisches Jahrbuch für Volkskunde, Jahrgang XX, pp.93-132; Moser-Rath, pp.358-9. Karl Sigismund Kramer supports the thesis that carnivals and liturgical festivals generally obtained much less in Protestant areas of Germany: ‘Eibelstadt und Wilster im 17. Jahrhundert’, Volkskultur und Geschichte, Dieter Harminung et al. (eds.) (Berlin, 1970), pp. 106-19.

17. See the calendars and annual events in Veit and Lenhart, pp.145ff; Merkelbach-Pinck, pp.85ff; R. Jalby, Le Folklore de Languedoc (Paris,1971), passim.

21. It would be fascinating if we could determine which people were doing which dance in early modern times; or if we knew which people did modern steps better than traditional ones. It would be facile to suggest that sons of farmers preserved the old Schuhplattler while the proletarian youth developed newer steps. Then their situation in the countryside would approximate our integrated urban high schools where the predominating race dictates the kind of music and dance step during the mid-day break. While it is likely that the proletariat did pick up the newer steps more quickly after 1800, there is reason to think that they did not scorn the older, traditional steps.

22. Shorter, pp.340-3; OAP 07090 Grafenau, 1828; Waldhof 1828. Virtually all Bavarian curates saw the Freinächte (nights on which dances were held) as the occasion of illicit intercourse and rising illegitimacy rates.
