Summary: The visionary choreographerand dancer Isadora Duncan (1877-1927) not only revolutionized dance in the twentieth century but blazed a path within the art for other pioneers. While many biographies have explored Duncan's crucial role as one of the founders of modern dance, no other book has proved as critical - as both a historical record and a vivid evocation of a riveting life - as her autobiography. Now, in this redesigned and repackaged edition, this fascinating, even sensational work (New York Times), with its romantic effusions and idealisticsentiment, can be appreciated by a new generation.
