Book Synopsis The Body in Time by : Tamar Garb
Book excerpt: The Body in Time looks at two different genres in relation to the construction of femininity in late ninetheenth-century France: Degas's representation of ballet dancers and the transforming tradition of female portraiture heralded by the "new woman." Class, gender, power, and agency are at stake in both arenas, but they play themselves out in different ways via different pictorial languages. Tamar Garb is Durning Lawrence Professor in Art History, University College London.
