First published in 1944, this classic book remains the definitive
work on the masterpiece of the Romantic Ballet, Giselle. The book
is in two parts, the first dealing with the original 1841
production, the second with technical and critical aspects of the
ballet. Part I charts the evolution of the Romantic Ballet, and
then gives a detailed description of the original production of
Giselle, including a synopsis and accounts of the settings,
costumes and creators of the original roles. Part II describes the
stage action - the steps, gestures and the meanings they express -
and analyses the interpretation of the roles. The book concludes
with a survey of dancers who won fame for their performances as
Giselle and as Albrecht.
