"The author reconstructs through a study of the actress's films, records, and writings. She analyzes each of the historic elements (voice, pantomine, gesture and spectacle), showing how Bernhardt adapted the techniques learned at the Conservatoire and in the theatre to her own particular strengths and weaknesses. The careful study of repertoire (the courtesan roles and death scenes perferred, the plays rejected) and histrionic theory gives the literary and theeoretical background necessary for a complete understanding of the actress's art." from the foreword. Price clipped. Pristine, no wear. Clean, tight and strong binding with no underlining, highlighting or marginalia. Muted-red cloth with deep-red title plate and gilt lettering to spine..
