White then examines how this preoccupation was later recovered by W.B. Yeats,...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) When the Second World War broke out, ballet in Britain was only a few decades old.

Nevertheless, the war proved to be a boon for ballet dancers, choreographers and audiences, for the nation's dancers were forced to look inward to their own identity and sources of creativity. As author Karen Eliot demonstrates in this fascinating book, instead of withering during the enforced isolation of war, ballet in Britain flourished, exhibiting a surprising heterogeneity and vibrant populism that moved...
