An actor's work : a student's diary /
Konstantin Stanislavski ; translated and edited by Jean Benedetti.
- London : Routledge, 2008.
- xxviii, 693 p. ; 24 cm.
Stanislavski's 'system' has dominated actor-training in the West since his writings were first translated into English in the 1920s and 1930s. Benedetti's translation is designed to overcome past mistranslations which have - it is argued - resulted in profound distortions in the teaching of Stanislavsky's work.
