The Moving Body and the English Romantic Imaginary explores ways in
which England in the Romantic period conceptualized its relation
both to its constituent parts within the United Kingdom and to the
larger world through discussions of dance, dancing, and dancers,
and through theories of dance and performance. As a referent that
both engaged and constructed the body-through physical training,
anatomization, spectacle and spectatorship, pathology, parody, and
sentiment-dance worked to produce an English exceptional body.
Discussions of dance in fiction and periodical essays, as well as
its visual representation in print culture, were important ways to
theorize points of contact as England was investing itself in the
world as an economic and imperial power during and after the
Revolutionary period. These formulations offer dance as an engine
for the reconfiguration of gender, class, and national identity in
the print culture of late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century
England.
