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 1960's and 1970's, 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.

La contre-culture d'hier est devenue la culture officielle. Elle a transformé l'art, la mode, la famille, l'école, le droit, la société tout entière. Mais le triomphe des utopies a été cher payé. [individu, enfin libéré, se sent soudain bien seul face à la marchandisation des corps et des coeurs. Affaibli par ses erreurs, marginalisé, voire donné pour mort, le christianisme se trouve clans la position paradoxale de pouvoir sauver ses ennemis d'hier, parmi lesquels les droits de l'homme, avec leur aspiration à l'universel, ou la science, aujourd'hui dominée par la technique. Remontant le cours des siècles, méditant sur l'art comme sur la littérature, explorant les débats éthiques, l'auteur dessine les contours d'une nouvelle spiritualité. La ritualité, la gratuité, la fragilité et finalement la possibilité même d'une cohérence du sens... Voilà quelques-unes des "valeurs faibles" que cet ouvrage novateur et dérangeant oppose avec force aux "vérités molles" de notre temps. Et si le christianisme était l'ultime rébellion ?

The volume examines the different worlds of students, businessmen, mohels, ritual slaughterers, rabbis, performers, and others, shedding new light on the challenge for Jewish men of balancing German citizenship and cultural af
