About the Book

Although much has been written about the dancer and prolific choreographer Martha Graham, no publication has specifically examined her radical period, the body of innovative work from the 1930s and 40s which culminated in the full-length Clytemnestra of 1958.

This publication focuses on this highly creative time in Graham's life, providing further insight into her extraordinary career and her many contributions to the field of modern dance.

Scholars for years to come will find helpful and fascinating snippets from Graham's life within these pages.
