Below is the description of the book from McFarland:
This ethnographic study of contemporary American Renaissance fairs
focuses on the Maryland Renaissance Festival, in which participants
recreate sixteenth-century England through performances of theater,
combat-at-arms, processions, street hawking, and meticulously faithful
historical reconstructions. It is also partly an autobiographical
account of interactive improvisation, subcultures within the festival
framework, the delineation between living history and historical
elaboration, and a new understanding of performers and patrons.
Hope you all enjoy.
