Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Jacket. Book "Reviews: "A comprehensive index rounds out an informative book."-International Theatre Institute, Spring 2001 "Eighteen distinguished contributors examine post-WW II European theater dance in ten revealing essays. Grau and Jordan hope this volume stimulates further research, and this reviewer applauds them for bringing together such a diverse group of scholars and outstanding work connecting dance studies to cultural studies and beyond. An essential purchase for any undergraduate or research library supporting study in the aforementioned disciplines, especially since nothing truly comparable presently exists."-"Choice "Andree Grau and Stephanie Jordan, both professors of dance at the university of Surrey Roehampton in London, have assembled an impressive collection of essays by dance scholars from nine European nations. As they point out in their introduction, they questioned "the continuing relevance of such a structure [of separate chapters for individual nations]. Ultimately, this book's greatest value is as a research tool and as a starting point for dance scholars for further exploration of the historical roots and influences of European dance.
