520			_a"H.T. Parker's descriptions of performances by great dancers of an earlier era are invaluable. His viewpoints are those of an astute observer, and his writings record important milestones on the way to today's golden age of dance in America" - Walter Terry Anna Pavlova, Isadora Duncan, Vaslav Nijinsky, Ruth St. Denis, the young Martha Graham, and other great dancers of the first third of the century come to life again in these eloquent reviews by Henry Taylor Parker. The eminent critic of the Boston Evening Transcript, H.T.P. (as his readers knew him) was ahead of his time in knowledge and awareness of the dance as a serious art form - what he called "the universal art." A lover of classical ballet, he was open-minded and receptive to Diaghilev's startling innovations, to the pioneering modern dancers Germany and America, and to the dazzling national dancers of Spain, Japan, and India. For many of their performances, H.T.P. provides the only perceptive eyewitness accounts available to us. Long before film recorded the movements of the dance, H.T.P.'s word pictures conveyed a sense of the dancer in motion. Thus these essays form a unique record of the period of the American discovery of dance. -- Book Jacket
