Modernism and the Choreographic Imagination: Salome's Dance After 1890

by Megan Girdwood

This book explores Salome's quintessential veiled dance through readings of fictional and poetic texts, dramatic productions, dance performances and silent films, arguing for the central place of this dancer - and her many interpreters - to the wider formal and aesthetic contours of modernism.
