The visionary choreographer and dancer Isadora Duncan (1877–1927), not only revolutionized dance in the twentieth century but also blazed a path within the art for other pioneers. While many biographies have explored Duncan's crucial role as one of the founders of modern dance, no other book has proved as critical—as both a historical record and a vivid evocation of a riveting life—as her autobiography. Now, in the fully restored edition, this “fascinating, even sensational” (New York Times) work, with its racy descriptions and idealistic sentiment, can be appreciated by a new generation. From Duncan's early enchantment with classical music and poetry to her great successes abroad, from her sensational love affairs to headline-grabbing personal tragedies, My Life continues to stand alone as “a great document, revealing the truth of her life as she understood it, without reticence or apology or compromise” (New York Herald Tribune).
