This book was first published in 2009. Literary critics often
pursue analyses of music or painting and literature as 'sister
arts', yet this was the first full-length study of the treatment of
social dance in literature. A vital part of social life and
courtship with its own symbolism, dance in the nineteenth century
was a natural point of interest for novelists writing about these
topics; and indeed ballroom scenes could themselves be used to
further courtship narratives or illustrate other significant
encounters. Including analyses of works by Jane Austen, W. M.
Thackeray, George Eliot and Anthony Trollope, as well as extensive
material from nineteenth-century dance manuals, Cheryl A. Wilson
shows how dance provided a vehicle through which writers could
convey social commentary and cultural critique on issues such as
gender, social mobility and nationalism.
