The Waltzing Body in Victorian Literature traces the evolution of the waltz from subversive to traditional across the 19th century, focusing on the Victorian authors who wrote about the waltz, exploring ideas around sexual desire, female empowerment, shifting masculinity, queer erasure, and the fear of being left behind in a modernizing world.
