Most people have heard of the tango that appeared in Buenos Aires around the end of the nineteenth century, then spread to Europe and the United States during the social dance revival in the years before World War One. Among the well-known ballroom dances the tango carries perhaps the most vivid external images--of sultry women and tough, brooding men dancing to tragic music about lost love. These images are not entirely false, but as with many beloved cultural icons, much that is of great interest has been overlooked because the popular vision is as strong as it is limited.

520 $a Most people have heard of the tango that appeared in Buenos Aires around the end of the nineteenth century, then spread to Europe and the United States during the social dance revival in the years before World War One. Among the well-known ballroom dances the tango carries perhaps the most vivid external images--of sultry women and tough, brooding men dancing to tragic music about lost love. These images are not entirely false, but as with many beloved cultural icons, much that is of great interest has been overlooked because the popular vision is as strong as it is limited.
520 $a This dissertation seeks to set out what verifiable information is available about the tango's early history, including elements that differ greatly from commonly held beliefs. The tango is examined as a representation of cultural history in Argentina, as a measure of society's reaction to the new ballroom dances popular in the twenty years after the turn of the century, as a form of dance and music, and as source material for composers of art music.
520 $a Primary sources about the tango in Argentina are quite difficult to find, although music is in plentiful supply in both Argentina and the United States. European and American dance manuals, written by teachers and performers, allow dance historians to reconstruct the steps of the ragtime era tango in those countries, but very few steps were written down in Argentina. Scholars can refer to newspapers and magazines to trace public reaction to the new dance, and reviews, playbills, and theatre programs give the names of stage performers and productions that included the tango. When researching a popular dance, historians find useful information even in the silliest flea market ephemera. Nonetheless, a summary of all available information about the tango leaves many questions unanswered. Some patterns emerge, however, when one examines the entire picture. The tango's unique history combined with its lingering mysteries make it one of the most fascinating among the social dances.
