by John S. Lennox (Author)
The history of stage combat is connected intimately to personal combat throughout history until the early twentieth century. This book follows the changes in stage combat as the duel of honor evolved. This evolution of dueling is traced- the weapons and styles used. The impact of these changes in how people fought from the heyday of the duel of honor to its disappearance is seen in the combat performed on stage. A more realistic style of combat on stage was performed in the past, but was lost as the social importance of the duel waned.
