Soviet Choreographers in the 1920s de Elizabeth Souritz

A milestone book... impeccably researched, beautifully organized, and eminently readable, it stands in a class by itself.

"Must" reading for anyone with a serious interest in dance.

But the book will find an audience outside of the dance intelligntsia.

Russianists are likely to want it, as well as theater and art historians.

Among the book's many treasures are the photographs and designs - all extremely rare and never before reproduced.

To Souritz's achievement as a scholar must be added her achievement as a humanist - willing to memory what others had willed to oblivion" - Lynn Garafola, author of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes
