Chapter Five
For this chapter, I looked especially to the work of Jens Andersen, Knud Arne Jürgensen, and Erik Aschengreen. I also gained invaluable insight from the teachings of Dinna Bjorn, Bruce Marks, and Stanley Williams.

Chapter Six
This chapter owes much to the work of Marion Alm, Ingrid Brainard, and Margaret M. McGowan. For nineteenth-century dance traditions I am especially indebted to Giannandrea Poesio and Kathleen Hansell. On Blasis and Manzotti I learned much from the scholarship of Flavia Pappacena, and for the culture of opera I looked above all to John Rosselli and Philip Gossett.
