Literature and Dance in Nineteenth-Century Britain: Jane Austen to the New Woman - Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture
Wilson, Cheryl A. (Indiana University of Pennsylvania)
This book analyses works by Jane Austen, W. M. Thackeray, George Eliot and Anthony Trollope, as well as extensive material from nineteenth-century dance manuals, to show how dance provided a vehicle through which writers could convey social commentary and cultural critique on issues such as gender, social mobility, and nationalism.
