Can anybody recommend a book on the history of acting? After reading a bunch of material on Welles lately I wanted to follow up his references to older styles and approaches but can't find anything. All the books in our library are either how-to, specific topics or acting theory (and not even a history of acting theories). Even if this is part of a general history of theatrical performance that would work but even the closest to that I found were textbooks that looked pretty tedious.
