By going into print, the ballet master, dancer, and writer on dance, Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810), helped to set the tone for major reforms in theatrical dance and furthered the development of a style of dramatic pantomime-ballet which would become known as ballet d'action. His major are reproduced here, accompanied by an introduction and commentary, and by eight illustrated essays by dance historians and musicologists.
