The Method: How the Twentieth Century Learned to Act by Isaac Butler

3.0

A weighty read, but I agree with the jacket blurbs: this is probably the most in-depth book I've read on the development and progression of acting methods in the U.S. Butler tends to get bogged down in the details - I had to skip a lot! - but when his focuses on how the craft of acting changed decade to decade, stemming all the way from Russia to the U.S., his writing is so intriguing.
