Editorial Reviews

Review

"Ann Daly ... breaks through the tradition of hagiography and pens the first truly critical study of Duncan's career... Done into Dance outdoes all its competitors." Susan Manning "Done into Dance is a cultural study that brings the dancer fully within the mainstream of American thought, politics, and artmaking of her time." Lynn Garafola "Would that all dance writing were as crisp, cogent, and incisive as Daly's. Done Into Dance: Isadora Duncan in America is a major contribution to our understanding of Isadora Duncan's life and work in particular and the development of twentieth-century dance in America in general." Women's Studies "... Done Into Dance not only 'breaks through the tradition of hagiography' characteristics of previous books on Duncan but also illuminates the diverse ways that dance scholarship - past and present - interrelates history, theory, narrative, audience, and the shared project of legitimation." Dance Research " ... A remarkable milestone in dance scholarship." Choice "Ann Daly ... Breaks through the tradition of hagiography and pens the first truly critical study of Duncan's career." Susan Manning " ... Important insight into the life and dance of this amazingly talented woman." Feminist Bookstore News "Daly convincingly situates Duncan's dancing amid pressing questions about gender roles and the debilitating effects of industrial culture, race and aesthetic issues in Progressive-era America." The Women's Review of Books "[Daly's book] is both original and provocative; no doubt, it will prove a benchmark for scholars who come after her." Dance Chronicle "Provides rich and insightful reading of [Duncan's] dance practice as it intersected with the conflicting agendas of radicals and reformers in the early-twentieth-century United States."The Journal of American History "The book is great reading for dance students, artists and historians." Patti Williams --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

"A remarkable milestone in dance scholarship...The author's synthesis of exhaustive research and the extraordinary scope of the scholarship--rendered in crisp, lively prose accessible to a broad readership--make this work unique among books about Duncan...[Done Into Dance] will be of interest to scholars of dance, American studies, women's studies, and the arts in general..."--C.W. Sherman, Choice

5.0 out of 5 stars Examining Isadora's international fame, December 7, 2002
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Done Into Dance: Isadora Duncan In America by Ann Daly (Associate Professor of Dance History and Criticism, The University of Texas, Austin) is the exciting story of that legendary American dance icon, Isadora Duncan. Examining Isadora's international fame, as well as her profound and pervasive influence on a rising generation of American women, Done Into Dance links Isadora with the social and historical currents of her era, including her own personal association with feminism, and her racial notion of "Americanness", while striving to answer just what it was about her dancing that captivated so many people. Numerous excerpted sources and black-and-white photographs round out this telling and highly recommended biographical portrait.
