Synopsis

This vintage book is Maud Allen's 1908 memoirs, "My Life and Dancing". Maud Allen was a Canadian musician, actor, dancer, and choreographer. Famous for her impressionistic dancing and controversial career, Maud Allen has a fascinating story to tell that will interest those with a penchant for the dramatic arts. "My Life and Dancing" will also be of particular interest to young girls wishing to begin a career in dancing. Contents include: "Childhood", "Memories", "Student Days and Travels", "The Human Bod My Instrument", "My Weimar Days", "Two Friends--My Debut", "Stepping Stones", "London--England's Queen", "Criticisms and Letters", "A Word About Women", and "Salomé". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on dance.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When first it was suggested to me that I should write this small book it seemed to me to savour of imposing a little on the wonderful kindness with which my work and myself have been received. But when the suggestion was backed up by the advice, almost the demands, of friends in whose judgment I have confidence, my scruples vanished, and I decided Uberare animam meam to liberate my mind, as the Classic author puts it. If it should give pleasure to or interest the friends who have appreciated my work, or even bring those who have misunderstood it to a better understanding, and especially if it prove helpful to any young girl whose ambition it is to take up an artistic career, I shall feel most amply rewarded. I shall feel that I was justified in braving criticism on the score of the premature publication of even so brief an outline as this of my lifes work. M. A.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
