{"product_id":"sleeping-beauty-a-legend-in-tim-scholl-9780300099560","title":"Sleeping Beauty, a Legend in Progress","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1999 the Maryinsky (formerly Kirov) Ballet and Theater in St. Petersburg re-created its 1890 production of \u003ci\u003eSleeping Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e. The revival showed the classic work in its original sets and costumes and restored pantomime and choreography that had been eliminated over the past century. Nevertheless, the work proved unexpectedly controversial, with many Russian dance professionals and historians denouncing it. In order to understand how a historically informed performance could be ridiculed by those responsible for writing the history of Russian and Soviet ballet, Tim Scholl discusses the tradition, ideology, and popular legend that have shaped the development of Sleeping Beauty. In the process he provides a history of Russian and Soviet ballet during the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003eA fascinating slice of cultural history, the book will appeal not only to dance historians but also to those interested in the arts and cultural policies of the Soviet and post-Soviet periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Scholl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300099568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300099560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.46h x 6.44w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2004 pg. 495","brand":"Tim Scholl","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47579573649663,"sku":"9780300099560","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f0a8060-f8a0-4b52-b966-8e7612706cbe.jpg?v=1763875137","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sleeping-beauty-a-legend-in-tim-scholl-9780300099560","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
