Faulkner is a provocative work written in the early 1890s, during a time of significant moral questioning in American society. This critical text serves as a cautionary account that aims to unmask the perceived dangers and moral degradation associated with dancing and social entertainment. Faulkner draws upon his experiences as a former dancing master to argue against the influence of dance on the virtue of young women, warning that it leads to a life of shame and destruction. In this book, Faulkner presents a series of haunting narratives and observations about young women who lose their innocence in the world of ballroom dancing. Through detailed character studies of girls who begin their journey with excitement and end in despair, Faulkner illustrates the seductive nature of dance and its ability to awaken undesirable passions. He recounts stories of deception by men who frequent these social gatherings, luring innocent girls into compromising situations. Fearing for the souls of the young and vulnerable, Faulkner fervently calls on parents to protect their children from what he perceives as an insidious path leading to ruin. The text is a stark and uncompromising exploration of morality, with a strong emphasis on the impact that seemingly harmless social activities can have on a person's life.
