The Actor and His Text is a direct extension of Cicely Berry's first book, Voice and the Actor. It sets out to apply the methods of voice production directly and practically to the speaking of text. Specifically, it addresses the problem of how to infuse life and meaning into words that are first encountered on the printed page. While the greater part of her book is about the speaking of Shakespeare, Cicely Berry also includes the speaking of modern plays, such as those of Davis Rudkin and Edward Bond. She expands, too, on the exercises given in Voice and the Actor which help to develop relaxation, breathing and muscular control.

Did the age of discovery begin with Columbus?  In this lively and original book, Edward Burman argues passionately that this is a misconception and draws on contemporary accounts to describe how medieval travellers ventured beyond the boundaries of their world well before Columbus' discovery of America in 1492.  Columbus's age of discovery, he argues, would be more accurately termed an "age of rediscovery and exploitation."
