Reviews
Reviews of the first edition: 'The fascination of this book lies in the way in which the author is able to locate the male dancer in the broader socio-historic context of the times . . . a vital contribution to the placing of dance and its literature within contemporary cultural debate.' Dr Alexander Carter, Middlesex University 'A complex summary of the numerous biases and windows through which we have viewed and continue to view male dancers . . . Burt's work argues persuasively that theatrical dance is a vital and threatening site for defining masculinity in relation to the culture at large.' David J. Popalisky, Dance Research Journal
