About this title

Synopsis

Shows how the obsession with physical culture in Europe and America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries resonated widely through the modernist movement, and traces its influence on the arts. Examines the emergence of modern dance, describes the shift from speech to gesture in modern drama, and shows how attempts to revitalize literary language paralleled a new emphasis on the direct experience of the writer. Reviews the careers of important figures of the period, and looks into the relationship between the era's celebration of the body and the rise of nationalism and racism. Includes b&w photos. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
