Abstract
The ballets des nations set to music by Jean-Baptiste Lully and Andre Campra in Le bourgeois gentilhomme (1670) and L' Europe galante (1697) are probably the most famous 17th-century representations of national characters through music and dance. A less well-known work, Europe's revels for the peace of Ryswick, provides important clues as to how national characters were danced on-stage and how they might be interpreted in contemporary London by English audiences.
