Style for Actors guides your advanced acting students beyond contemporary American realism into the less familiar territory of historical periods and genres.
This book is a great resource, but wow, there is a lot of really dated language. I corresponded briefly with the publishing house, and I believe there are plans to remedy some of that in the next edition. It's an excellent tool for an Acting Styles class, but I'm not sure I would ask my students to buy it again until some of the references are updated to contemporary standards.
