The visionary choreographerand dancer Isadora Duncan (1877–1927) not only revolutionized dance in the twentiethcentury but blazed a path within the art for other pioneers. While manybiographies have explored Duncan's crucial role as one of the founders ofmodern dance, no other book has proved as critical— as both a historical recordand a vivid evocation of a riveting life—as her autobiography. Now, in thisredesigned and repackaged edition, this “fascinating, even sensational” work (<em>New York Times</em>), with its romantic effusions and idealisticsentiment, can be appreciated by a new generation. From her early enchantmentwith classical music and poetry to her great successes abroad, to herscandalous love affairs and headline-grabbing tragedies, Duncan's <em>My Life</em> still stands alone as “a great document, revealingthe truth of her life as she understood it, without reticence or apology orcompromise” (<em>New York Herald Tribune</em>).
