This study reveals that the three metrical units into which most choral odes were divided refer to the disposition in space of the dancers as they recited, with climactic moments of the poetry actualized through the attitudes of the dancers and with certain themes reserved for particular sections of the poetic form.Originally published in 1983.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

"Ancient Greek dance" traditionally evokes images of stately choruses or lively Dionysiac revels - communal acts of performance. This is the first book to look beyond the chorus to the diverse and complex representation of solo dancers in Archaic and Classical Greek literature. It argues that dancing alone signifies transgression and vulnerability in the Greek cultural imagination, as isolation from the chorus marks the separation of the individual from a range of communal social structures. It also demonstrates that the solo dancer is a powerful figure for literary exploration and experimentation, highlighting the importance of the singular dancing body in the articulation of poetic, narrative, and generic interests across Greek literature. Taking a comparative approach and engaging with current work in dance and performance studies, this book reveals the profound literary and cultural importance of the unruly solo dancer in the ancient Greek world.

La connivence entre la littérature et la danse est antique ; elle prend de nombreuses formes. Pré-texte ou corollaire, l'écriture accompagne souvent la danse et celle-ci s'insinue dans les pages, indice de fantastique et d'ineffable. Les études concernant la danse dans la littérature sont nombreuses. En revanche, les interactions du littéraire et du chorégraphique considérées dans leurs réalisations scéniques sont moins explorées. C'est de littérature en danse qu'il est question dans ce volume, consacré surtout au destin des livrets de ballets conçus par des auteurs français, aux collaborations entre écrivains et chorégraphes et aux transpositions dansées d'ouvrages appartenant au patrimoine littéraire français. Il s'agit d'interroger les dynamiques et les enjeux du passage d'un code à l'autre, des mots écrits aux corps en mouvement. Comment un texte se transforme-t-il en un spectacle dansé qui ne se veut pas illustration mais transfiguration esthétique et interprétation autonome ? Comment les différents composants d'un texte littéraire se métamorphosent-ils en décors et costumes, en gestes et en pas ? En renversant la perspective, ce questionnement nous induit également à relire les textes à partir des recréations chorégraphiques auxquelles ils ont donné lieu. Entre littéralité et abstraction, ce sont donc les correspondances et les écarts par lesquels la chorégraphie intègre et transcende la consistance conceptuelle, émotionnelle et verbale de l'oeuvre littéraire qui font l'objet de ce livre : histoire de renouveler, de phrases en phrasés, le plaisir de l'intertexte.

Dancing out of Line transports readers back to the 1840's, when the craze for social and stage dancing forced Victorians into a complex relationship with the moving body in its most voluble, volatile form. By partnering cultural discourses with representations of the dance and the dancer in novels such as Jane Eyre, Bleak House, and Daniel Deronda, Molly Engelhardt makes explicit many of the ironies underlying Victorian practices that up to this time have gone unnoticed in critical circles. She analyzes the role of the illustrious dance master, who created an
