On Actors and the Art of Acting
1875. This volume contains a collection of articles written by Lewes at different periods, but with the purpose of directing attention not simply to the fact that Acting is an Art, but that, like all other Arts, it is obstructed by a mass of unsystemised opinion, calling itself criticism. Contents: Edmund Kean; Charles Kean; Rachel; Macready; Farren; Charles Mathews; Frederic Lemaitre; The two Keeleys; Shakespeare as Actor and Critic; On Natural Acting; Foreign Actors on our Stage; The Drama in Paris. 1865; The Drama in Germany. 1867; The Drama in Spain. 1867; and First Impressions of Salvini. 1875. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
The Joy of Acting
The Joy of Acting is a textbook of exercises, carefully selected and progressing from the elementary to the more difficult, for the use of teachers of acting, directors (in studio work) and individual actorbeginners. This is material which the author found most effective in his years of teaching actors in New York City. The principles of psychology on which the Stanislavsky system is based are closely followed: hence the book provides an excellent text-manual to supplement an Actor Prepares. In an introduction, the author dicusses the problems of the artist in the theatre, and the ideal collaboration of actor, director and playwright.
