Perriman, an author and former teacher, examines the relationship between Willa Cather and modern dance by documenting how this author was inspired to train as a leading balletomane after Anna Pavlova's debut at the Met in 1910. This volume features excerpts from Cather's writings on ballet, her instrumental role in many productions throughout the 1930s and a brief history of European and American trends in ballet throughout the first half of the 20th century. An appendix lists the major performances in New York from 1906 and 1940, making this a worthwhile reference for dance historians and students. Distributed by Associated University Presses.
