This article literally appraises the books "Isadora Duncan's Russian Days and Her Last Years in France," by Irma Duncan and Allan Ross MacDougall and "The Art of the Dance," by Isadora Duncan and edited by Sheldon Cheney. We are told in the recent volume on her Russian days by Irma and Allan MacDougall that she was persuaded by friends and publishers alike to write only of her personal adventures. And it is, therefore, from one's own recollection, from the twenty-three essays in "The Art of the Dance," and from her pupils that we must collect the material for judging the creative artist. Many of the essays are sheer poetry, uplifted in tone and beautiful in expression; but they offer little clarification of the art of the dance.
