Summary, etc. "Walter Sorell has always been more than just an outstanding reviewer of dance: as a writer, poet, and painter, he possesses an extraordinary sensitivity to the poetic aspects of the art. In Looking Back in Wonder Sorell presents an exciting, informative, and immensely satisfying memoir of nearly four decades of dance in America. These recollections do not simply relate one critic's reminiscences; rather, they let the reader relive practically the entire history of American dance.<br/>Walter Sorell analyzes, speculates, and finds common threads among different forms, periods, and performers in dance. His perspective is unlike that of any mere reviewer; Sorell's essays are not recapitulations od specific performances but reflections on the artistic aspects of dance by someone who sees himself "as a discoverer and not as a judge of deeds done, as a historian rather than a critic." For Sorell, dance is another marvel of man's creative gift.<br/>Some of the best of Sorell's original reviews are featured here, many expanded and updated to reflect his later views. There are pieces on the theory of dance, on specific performances, and on the great dancers and choreographers. The reader will meet many dance legends including Isadora Duncan, Doris Humphrey, Mary Wigman, George Balanchine, Martha Graham, Hanya Holm, Merce Cunningham, Rudolf Nureyev, and Twyla Tharp.<br/>After more than 35 years of observing and writing about dance Sorell's perceptions are as fresh as ever. His memoir will be enjoyable reading for dance teachers, students, professionals, and admirers of the art." -- Book Jacket
