This book, written by American dance critic and historian Lynn Garafola (b. 1946), widely recognized as a leading authority on the Ballets Russes de Serge Diaghilev, is considered one of the most comprehensive histories of the company ever written. It was among the first works to examine the Ballets Russes as a whole—its art, enterprise, and audience—blending social and cultural history with insightful discussions of dance, drama, music, art, economics, and public reception.
