Abstract
AbstractDancing bodies and scenes of dance appear throughout the 19th‐century literature. Bringing the dance historical perspective to literary studies helps to situate texts within important social and cultural contexts and also raises questions about the presence of moving bodies within texts and how those bodies might have been deployed by the 19th‐century writers. Recently, scholars have attempted to bridge the gap between dancing bodies and textual bodies by bringing dance history and criticism into conversation with the article of the 19th‐century literary texts, creating the field of dance and literature studies. This field has rich potential for interdisciplinary studies and also much to offer both literary studies and dance history.
