This book by Cyril W. Beaumont (1891–1976), one of the most prominent dance historians of the twentieth century, is dedicated to the great choreographer Michel Fokine (1880–1942). It explores Fokine's theories on the art of ballet, the reception of his ballets by the London press, and provides a detailed summary of his activities during the period from 1918 to 1931.
