Book Synopsis
Norton (dance, Hamilton College) describes the life and work of choreographer and performer Massine (1895-1979), characterizing him as the most important figure in the ballet world during the 1930s. During World War II, he was confined to the US, where nationalistic fervor favored homegrown American ballet and modern dance to his wide ranging European and Russian styles, and he fell out of favor.
