Rishona Zimring is Associate Professor of English at Lewis & Clark College, Portland, Oregon, USA.
'Social Dance and the Modernist Imagination in Inter-War Britain is a fascinating account of the significance of dance as symptom and therapy for a war-ravaged and cosmopolitan modernity, and of dance as tool and trap for women navigating their way through the modern world.' - Andrea Zemgulys, University of Michigan, USA 'Writings on dance between the wars have hitherto been dominated by theatrical dance - from Ballets Russes to Isadora Duncan - and Zimring makes a powerful argument for the serious study of social dance. The inclusion of folk dance within this study is to be applauded.' English Dance and Song Magazine 'Social Dance and the Modernist Imagination in Interwar Britain offers a rich description of the dance cultures of the modernist period ... Zimring offers a refreshing account of interwar modernism's ambivalent view of dance.' Woolf Studies Annual '[This book] contextualises the depiction of dance in images and writing within deep concerns about society and modernity largely engendered by experience of the Great War, making this an important text for understanding the modernism of the interwar years. Zimring's scholarship is admirable.' Dance Research
