| Summary |
The Dance Chronicle papers consist chiefly of correspondence between the editors and those authors whose work was submitted to the journal. Additional information is included about ballets, organizations, photographs, and college dance programs. Also included are edited drafts of articles. A unique part of the collection is comprised of correspondence, manuscript drafts, and photographs for an unpublished autobiography of Mia Slavenska that was sent to editor, George Dorris. The collection is important in the information it provides about the interaction beween editor and author, and also in its documentation of the journal's role in bringing a distinctive breadth and depth of scholarship to the dance community. |
