초록/해제  
요약In 1903, modernist dancer Isadora Duncan wrote, "To those who ... enjoy the movements [of ballet], ... to those I answer: They see no farther than the skirts and tricots. But look-under the skirts, under the tricots are dancing deformed muscles. Look still farther-underneath the muscles are deformed bones. A deformed skeleton is dancing before you." Duncan's speech alludes to the way the dancing of ballet (particularly pointework) disfigures the ballerina's skeleton over time, even as the regime of ballet simultaneously heightens her incredible lightness, beauty, and power.Many scholars of Romanticism have noted that second-generation British Romantic poetry exudes a similar aesthetics of death, entropy, sublimity, and deformation that turns one's gaze ceaselessly towards the body. The works of authors such as John Keats, Percy Shelley, and Mary Shelley propose that life itself is somehow toxic or disabling; meanwhile, British Romanticism's catacomb of wrecked bodies prefigures Romantic ballet's many lost etoiles,undone by their own pursuit of artistry.Despite the aesthetic affinities between these two artistic discourses, little work has been done that places them side by side in a critical capacity. As such, this dissertation makes extensive use of nineteenth-century poetry, ballet, and the biographical archive, listening for their strange and deathly harmonies. My research generates an interdisciplinary method of reading the Romantic body by blending affect theory with Paul de Man's concept of inscription, as a means of 'catch a glimpse' of the body as it becomes inscribed by life and dies. The goal of this dissertation is not to reify the popular myth of the Romantic ballerina as the beauty constantly vanishing around the corner, but instead to restore ballet's translucent specters and sylphides back into the overworked and shuddering bodies lurking beneath the soft lines of the Romantic tutu, bodies "half in love with easeful Death," even as they perform stunning feats of athleticism. This practice can help scholars of aesthetics and visual culture to place the body (and its pains and labors) at the center of their works rather than at the margins, giving rise to a more conscious and ethical reading and writing practice-a crucial process of speculative empathy that asks one to imagine more tangibly, to understand art in the light of the artist's flesh and bone.
