Wrappers worn. Book is free of ownership marks. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Bx-244; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 256 pages; From Victorian London and Paris to modern Cairo, where Islamic fundamentalist puritanism threatens the belly dance, Jarrett explores erotic dance and its cultures. In so doing, she lends ecdysiasts and their fans a veneer of respectability without sacrificing a certain lush luridness. And certainly, the historical illustrations (oddly, the cover photo is the most revealing of them) offer possible titillation for the desperate sort who seek smut in the library (do they also shop for lumber at the deli? ). But Jarrett's focus is on the interplay of society, censorship, and a form of dance as old as public entertainment itself. Particularly interesting is the fairly lengthy consideration of Anita Berber, dancer, morphine addict, and flamboyant bisexual, whose "naked dances" scandalized Berlin and Vienna in the 1920s. Hauntingly remindful of Nijinsky, Berber actually essayed outre realms of public sexuality at which Madonna only limply paws. The three photos of Berber and her paramour, Sebastian Droste, are nearly reason enough to acquire this satisfying and impressive popular cultural history<

The story begins in the 1860s -- in the music halls of London and the cabarets of Paris, Berlin, and Vienna, where Lydia Thompson, La Goulue, and Anita Berber perfect the art of titillation through dance. We move to New York's Ziegfeld Follies (and the beginnings of modern striptease) when Lillian Lorraine shoots to megastardom, and then to Gypsy Rose Lee's Hollywood Burlesque. It moves on to Scandinavian nightclubs in the 1960s, London strip joints in the 1970s, and finally to contemporary Eastern Europe's booming underground sex industry.
