News for January/February
2003 DANCE CHRONICLE, which was first published in 1976, originated from a request by Mary Ann Liebert, of Marcel Dekker, Inc., to start a new journal to replace the defunct Dance Perspective, recently celebrated its 25th anniversary. The magazine marked
the event by publishing two serials which will run through the next three
issues: the letters which the famed choreographer August Bournonville
wrote in 1841 to his wife while traveling in France and Italy, and a biographical
study by Katherine Sorley Walker of the pioneering dance bookseller, publisher
and writer, Cyril Beaumont, whose work introduced many dance aficionados
to the great ballets of the past. |
Congratulations to them and to the magazine, which continues to publish articles by some of the major figures in the dance world, plus the work of up and coming dance writers and scholars. |
