For an edition of Newcastle's "The Variety" (performed at the Blackfriars
ca 1640, and printed in Holland 1649), I am trying to track down an
Elizabethan dancer who went by the nickname of Lord Loftie or whose actual
name is a variant of Loftie. DNB does not help nor do contemporary books
on dancing. I would appreciate learning about any specialized books on the
history of dance that list members might know and that could be useful.
Thanks in advance.
