520 "The Renaissance Faire--a 50 year-long party, communal
ritual, political challenge and cultural wellspring--
receives its first sustained historical attention with
Well Met. Beginning with the chaotic communal moment of
its founding and early development in the 1960s through
its incorporation as a major 'family friendly' leisure
site in the 2000s, Well Met tells the story of the
thinkers, artists, clowns, mimes, and others performers
who make the Faire. Well Met approaches the Faire from the
perspective of labor, education, aesthetics, business, the
opposition it faced, and the key figures involved. Drawing
upon vibrant interview material and deep archival research,
Rachel Lee Rubin reveals the way the faires established
themselves as a pioneering and highly visible counter
cultural referendum on how we live now--our family and
sexual arrangements, our relationship to consumer goods,
and our corporate entertainments. In order to understand
the meaning of the faire to its devoted participants, both
workers and visitors, Rubin has compiled a dazzling array
of testimony, from extensive conversations with Faire
founder Phyllis Patterson to interviews regarding the
contemporary scene with performers, crafters, booth
workers and 'playtrons.' Well Met pays equal attention
what came out of the faire--the transforming gifts
bestowed by the faire's innovations and experiments upon
the broader American culture: the underground press of the
1960s and 1970s, experimentation with 'ethnic' musical
instruments and styles in popular music, the craft revival,
and various forms of immersive theater are all connected
back to their roots in the faire. Original, intrepid, and
richly illustrated, Well Met puts the Renaissance Faire
back at the historical center of the American
counterculture"--Provided by publisher.
