My Life Revised and Updated

The famous dancer and choreographer tells the story of her life, from her enchantment with music and poetry to her love affairs and personal tragedies.
One of the most remarkable books on dance returns with a revealing, new introduction by New Yorker critic Joan Acocella.
The visionary choreographerand dancer Isadora Duncan (1877–1927) not only revolutionized dance in the twentiethcentury but blazed a path within the art for other pioneers. While manybiographies have explored Duncan’s crucial role as one of the founders ofmodern dance, no other book has proved as critical— as both a historical recordand a vivid evocation of a riveting life—as her autobiography. Now, in thisredesigned and repackaged edition, this “fascinating, even sensational” work (New York Times), with its romantic effusions and idealisticsentiment, can be appreciated by a new generation. From her early enchantmentwith classical music and poetry to her great successes abroad, to herscandalous love affairs and headline-grabbing tragedies, Duncan’s My Life still stands alone as “a great document, revealingthe truth of her life as she understood it, without reticence or apology orcompromise” (New York Herald Tribune).
A remarkable account of a wildly artistic life, finally restored to its unexpurgated form, with a revealing new introduction by Joan Acocella.
