The Cursed Carolers in Context

explores the interplay between the forms and

contexts in which the tale of the cursed carolers circulated and the meanings it

had for medieval and early modern authors and audiences. The story of the cursed

carolers has circulated in Europe since the eleventh century. In this story, a group

of people in a village in Saxony skip Christmas mass to perform a circle dance

in the cemetery, only to be cursed and forced to keep dancing for a whole year.

By approaching the story in specific historical contexts, this book shows how the

story of the cursed carolers became a space in which medieval readers, writers,

and listeners could debate the meaning and significance of a surprising variety of

questions, including ecclesiastical authority, gender roles, pastoral responsibility,

and even the conduct of crusades. This consideration of the interplay between text

and context sheds new light on how and why the story of the dancers achieved

such popularity in the Middle Ages and how its meanings developed and changed

throughout the period. This book will appeal to scholars and students of medieval

European history, literature, and dance, as well as those interested in cultural

history.
