Description
The first in-depth study of Vaslav Nijinsky's life-writing, this book combines textual analysis and literary theory with intellectual biography to elucidate the dancer's riffs on Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Nietzsche. This interdisciplinary study explores the modernist contexts from which the dancer-writer emerged at the end of World War I.
