Giselle the daughter, and Mary the niece, of Godfrey, a Miller, have just finished making their dresses for the wedding of the former, which is to take place on the morrow deeply imbued with the superstitions of her country, Giselle is filled with 'romantionnotions, and gives way to idle fancies fond of dancing, i' and an enthusiast in music, she indulges in both until, wearied by her exertions, she is completely overpowered by sleep. Many, like a sen sible bridesmaid, has retired to rest, and left Giselle to her dancing and - her dream. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The unusual marriage of Romantic ballet and artificial intelligence is an intriguing idea that led a team of interdisciplinary researchers to design iGiselle, a video game prototype. Scholars in the fields of literature, physical education, music, design, and computer science collaborated to revise the tragic narrative of the nineteenth-century ballet Giselle, allowing players to empower the heroine for possible ”feminine endings.” The eight interrelated chapters chronicle the origin, development, and fruition of the project. Dancers, gamers, and computer specialists will all find something original that will stimulate their respective interests.
