Review Life in Movies: An Autobiography / Alfred A. Knopf:Michael Powell's prolific life as a filmmaker stretched over half a century, almost from the very beginnings of popular cinema. In this, the first volume of his autobiography, Powell captures the startling momentum of his early career, which began while he was still in his teens when a serendipitous meeting with the great silent filmmaker Rex Ingram garnered him a job at Victorine Studios. From there he went on to apprentice with Alfred Hitchcock and then to Alexander Korda's studio, where he would meet Emeric Pressburger, his principal collaborator for many years. With wit and candor Powell recalls their astounding work together on such classics as Black Narcissus and The Red Shoes - all of this narrated in his inimitable prose. But A Life in Movies is more than just one man's story. Full of politics, intrigue, glamour, and grit, it's a fast-paced, atmospheric ride that sheds new light on the early days of the film business.

Review Reclaiming Charles Weidman (1901-1975): An American Dancer's Life and Legacy / Edwin Mellen Press:This work offers an original look at the life and work of Charles Weidman (1907-1975), a distinguished dancer and choreographer who, though an originator of twentieth-century American dance, has remained previously overshadowed and unrecognized in dance history. This study will appeal to scholars who are interested in the history of dance, especially in the United States. This study traces the life of Charles Weidman (1907-1975), a distinguished dancer and choreographer, is recognized as an originator of twentieth-century American dance, from his early years in the Midwest, his friendship with Martha Graham and Jose Limon, his partnership with Doris Humphrey and Pauline Lawrence, to the formation of the Expression of Two Arts Theatre with visual artist Mikhail Santaro. This work examines Weidman's concert works, Broadway shows, and opera productions, where his modern dance ideas revitalized these theatrical forms. Weidman's training system is analyzed by stressing its lineage, his men's group, rebound principle, floor work, use of drums and rhythm, and his kinetic pantomime. Now, thirty years after his death, evidence is beginning to shed new light on Charles Weidman's enormous influence upon and legacy for modern American dance.

Review The Operas of Charles Gounod / Oxford University Press, USA:Gounod was the leading opera composer in France in the mid-nineteenth century, and his best-known operas, including Faust and Romeo and Juliette, date from that time. Despite the overwhelming success of Faust and Gounod's immense influence on all French composers of the later nineteenth century, he has been virtually ignored by scholars until now. Huebner here charts the composer's career and deals with each of the major operas, discussing not only the music but also the critical reception and source material. He considers aspects of the composer's musical style and outlines his influence on subsequent generations of composers.

Review The Sistine Chapel (Michelangelo: Selected Scholarship in English) / Routledge:Accessible to readers-useful to spcialists Much as been written on Michelangelo. By 1970, the number of scholarly books and articles exceeded 4,000, approximately a tenth in English. In the past 25 years, the literature has grown exponentially, with a notable increase in English-language publications. The five-volume series reproduces some 100 articles in English, selected from a broad range of books and journals. The collection is both accessible to the general reader and useful to the specialist, offering a representative sample of old and new commentary on the artist and his work. The career of a geniusArticles are arranged chronologically with separate volumes covering the artist's early life and works, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, commission associated with San Lorenzo, the tomb of Julius II and other Roman projects, and a final volume devoted to drawings, poetry, and miscellaneous studies. Spanning his entire 89-year life, the articles explore Michelangelo's prodigious creativity as an artist, thinker, and poet. The sheer quantity of what has been written on Michelangelo can be intimidating; most student have little sense of how to approach or effectively utilize the vast literature. By presenting a varied introduction to a great artist, this collection is a handy reference tool for a wide array of topics, problems, and literature.
