- Abstract
Olivia Sabee's book, "Theories of Ballet in the Age of the Encyclopedia," explores the world of ballet and dance in the eighteenth century. Sabee delves into the thoughts, manners, and forms of this era to understand how ballet became the dominant dance genre during this time. The book extensively references primary sources from the eighteenth century, such as the Encyclopédie of Diderot and D'Alembert, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the period. Sabee also examines the classification and definition of dance in the eighteenth century, as well as the relationship between dance and other arts, such as music and literature. The book sheds light on the complexities and evolution of ballet during this influential period.
