 Headlong through life: The story of Isadora Duncan.
Author: Wood, Ean Published: 2006 In this lively and entertaining book Ean Wood tells the whole life-story of Isadora Duncan, from her childhood in the raffish frontier town that was early San Francisco to her tragic death. Loveable, exasperating, and wildly talented, Duncan led a headlong, impetuous and romantic life, developing from a dedicated and virginal artist into an enthusiastic champion of free love. She expressed everything she felt through dance: without her influence it would have taken longer for dance to become an art from in its own right, and modern dance as we know it today would have been a longer time coming. |
