The Dance Of Modern Society (1884)

The Dance of Modern Society is a book written by William Cleaver Wilkinson in 1884. The book explores the social and cultural significance of dance in modern society. Wilkinson examines the history of dance, tracing its roots back to ancient times, and explores how it has evolved over time to become an integral part of modern society. He also discusses the various types of dances that are popular in different parts of the world, and how they reflect the cultural values and traditions of those societies.One of the key themes of the book is the role of dance in shaping social norms and values. Wilkinson argues that dance has the power to bring people together and create a sense of community, but it can also be used to reinforce social hierarchies and reinforce oppressive power structures. He also explores the gendered nature of dance, and how it has been used to reinforce traditional gender roles and expectations.The book is written in a scholarly and academic style, with extensive references to historical and cultural sources. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and cultural significance of dance, as well as those interested in the ways in which social norms and values are shaped and reinforced through cultural practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
