    I think I should begin the process of my PhD. in Anthropology by writing a dissertation on plethora of cultural expressions found at your average renn fest!

    Wait--I'm sure there are volumes written already, eh?

    We don't get these Renaissance Festivals over here in the UK and I feel we are really missing out on something. If nothing else, they look to be so much fun! Thanks for posting.

    Regards

    I'd like to read one! You know, we get somebody doing that kind of research ask 20 questions over on the renfaire forums from time to time, but I think it becomes a bigger task than they think. At least I don't think anyone has ever shown us any results!

    I have seen a book disscussed, called "Renaissance Festivals: Merrying the Past and Present" that claims to be a anthropological look at the Maryland renfaire, but I have not read it.
