“The Sir Roger de Coverley Papers” contains essays that were printed in the “Spectator” in the early 1700s. This book enlightens readers about the society of Sir Roger de Coverley and his acquaintances. A book for all members of society.
Roger de (or of) Coverley (also Sir Roger de Coverley or …Coverly) is the name of an English country dance and a Scottish country dance (also known as The Haymakers). An early version was published in The Dancing Master, 9th edition (1695). The Virginia Reel is probably related to it. The name refers to a fox, and the dance’s steps are reminiscent of a hunted fox going in and out of cover.
