Pergamon Press. Very Good. 1982. Soft Cover. 8vo 0080267912 Paperback, crease to one corner. 128 pages, clean and tight. Popper, Lakatos, Kuhn and Feyerabend occupy leading positions in Western philosophy of science in this century. To them we owe the prevailing view that scientific knowledge is never true (nor even probable), and never false (nor even improbable). Even the best scientific opinion, at any time, is nothing more than an unjustified conjecture, a socially-imposed dogma, or a fashionable gestalt.

Foreword by Jeremy Irons. 285pp clean and tight. The Making of the Professional Actor is the most thorough and accessible study of the evolution of the art of acting, not only charting its history from medieval times, but also analysing contemporary acting styles and offering predictions about the future.

He summarizes the performer's historical context, looking in turn at Elizabethan, Restoration, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century conventions, and gives a detailed consideration of initiatives taken, in the twentieth century by many leading theatrical figures, among them Copeau, Stanislayski, Piscator and Brecht, Artaud, Barrault, Saint-Denis, Brook, Grotowski, Strehler,… Read More

Frontis portrait plate. Illustrations. 84 pages clean and tight. Randolph Caldecott was not only an eminent artist, acknowledged for over a hundred years as one of the great illustrators of children's books, but a remarkable personality, as this fascinating collection of his letters testify.

Caldecott was a prolific illustrator, endowing each of his many books with a charm and wit not known before and scarcely since; for a nursery rhyme as short as Sing a Song for Sixpence he drew thirty illustrations. He wrote as easily as he drew, and he obviously loved writing to his friends, regarding it, he said, as a… Read More
