Isadora Duncan - My Life. The Restored Edition (1927. 1955. preface 2013)

The visionary choreographer and 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. 

From her early enchantment with classical music and poetry to her great successes abroad, to her scandalous love affairs and headline-grabbing tragedies, Duncan’s My Life still stands alone as “a great document, revealing the truth of her life as she understood it, without reticence or apology or compromise” (New York Herald Tribune).
