"Performer, choreographer, teacher and artistic pioneer, Martha Graham has had a far-reaching and profound influence on dance as we now know it. When this book first appeared, Graham had already begun to evolve her own highly distinctive art an was developing that language of movement that came to be called the 'Graham technique'. Martha Graham - The Early Years, an illustrated anthology of articles about this extraordinary woman, conveys the excitement she aroused in those who first recognized her genius, and creates that same excitement in new generations of dance lovers." -- Book cover
