‘Anna Pavlova’ is not a biography, but a critical examination of genius. Kerensky’s absorbing and astonishingly penetrating study dissects the Pavlova legend, from her early life and training to the gruelling lifestyle and internal drive that eventually contributed to her premature death on the eve of her fiftieth birthday. Kerensky’s portrait is balanced, frank, nuanced and an exemplary model of style and grace. Throughly recommended.
