Excerpt from The Delsarte System of Physical Culture As mentioned above, we have, in the study of the Delsarte method, first the physical culture which teaches us the art of withdrawing the natural nervous force from the different members of the entire body and enables us to control that force by the action of the brain, and then to govern the muscles artistically, developing every set equally until the limbs assume an appearance of strength and symmetry and allow perfect freedom of action, which is synonymous with grace and beauty. It stands to reason that, if our muscles are free and flexible, all our movements will become correspondingly free, and we will feel new life and vigor through lack of restraint. It is like oiling machinery and then setting it in motion. The exercises of this system act as a health restorer. They are not violent, yet they are wonderfully strengthening by reason of the slowness of the movements. They induce proper habits of respiration and develop the chest admirably. They also serve to strengthen the back; and many people suffer from weak and 'painful backs because they unconsciously carry them selves badly at all times, but especially when walking, the chest being drawn in and the abdomen thrown forward, or else the chest and shoulders being held far back and the abdomen thrown forward. Either posture gives a dis tinct but reversed curve to the spine and throws the entire weight of the torso upon the muscles of the back. If the back is to be relieved of all strain and an erect, easy carriage acquired in walking, the chest must predominate and the hips be well drawn back; but those who have always carried themselves incorrectly will find it almost impossible to attain the proper action until the muscles have become flexible through the practice of the exercises which will be described farther on, and which, if faithfully performed, cannot fail to produce beneficial effects. As the exercises are of a soothing nature and regulate the nervous force, they are beneficial for nervousness, because they teach us repose - that bless ing possessed by so very few. Many people quickly tire themselves in performing their ordinary duties, because they lack repose and give certain muscles unnecessary work through bad habits acquired and through lack of proper exercise. These persons assert that they are not strong; in some cases this may be true, but in many more instances their weakness proceeds from a cause which might easily be removed. It is also true that many people donot relax their vital energy even in sleep, and as a consequence they do not receive as much benefit from sleep as do those who can give themselves up to perfect repose.

This study chronicles the American adaptation of the theory and practice of the French acting, singing, and aesthetics teacher, Francois Delsarte. Delsartism was introduced in the United States by Steele Mackaye, Delsarte's only American student. American Delsartism, with its emphasis on physical culture and expression, differed significantly from Delsarte's works in France. The system evolved from professional training for actors and orators to a means of physical culture and expression that became popular among middle and upper class American women and girls. It allowed nineteenth-century women to pay attention to their bodies, to explore their own physicality, and to perform in a socially acceptable venues. In its later manifestations, Delsartism influenced the innovative dance of such artists as Isadora Duncan, Ruth St. Denis, and Ted Shawn. Biographical information on the most notable figures in the development of American Delsartism is presented along with a discussion of the spread of Delsartism throughout the United States and to Germany. The Delsartean approach to training and expression is traced from Delsarte and Mackaye through the theory, teaching, and performance of Genevieve Stebbins, the most notable American proponent of the system. This work will appeal to scholars of dance history and of late nineteenth-century women's studies. Theater historians will appreciate the detailed account of the system as developed and taught by Steele Mackaye as training for actors. Although Delsartism has been acknowledged as relevant to the history of modern dance, scant information and research has previously been published which explores the movement in depth and discusses its importance to women's physical and cultural education in nineteenth-century America. Photographs illustrate the text and an extensive bibliography serves as a useful guide for further research.

Historians of rhetoric have long worked to recover women's education in reading and writing, but have only recently begun to explore women's speaking practices, from the parlor to the platform to the varied types of institutions where women learned elocutionary and oratorical skills in preparation for professional and public life. This book fills an important gap in the history of rhetoric and suggests new paths for the way histories may be told in the future, tracing the shifting arc of women's oratorical training as it develops from forms of eighteenth-century rhetoric into institutional and extrainstitutional settings at the end of the nineteenth century and diverges into several distinct streams of community-embodied theory and practice in the twentieth. Treating key rhetors, genres, settings, and movements from the early republic to the present, these essays collectively challenge and complicate many previous claims made about the stability and development of gendered public and private spheres, the decline of oratorical culture and the limits of women's oratorical forms such as elocution and parlor rhetorics, and women's responses to rhetorical constraints on their public speaking. Enriching our understanding of women's oratorical education and practice, this cutting-edge work makes an important contribution to scholarship in rhetoric and communication.
