This is a fascinating book for readers even if we are not actors. In addition to the monologues, there is an appendix that allows you to select entries by source, author, time period, publication date, setting, type of role, character, and age range. Of course there are entries from Austen's novels. Also Douglas Adams, Dorothy Parker, Tom Wolfe, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Charlotte Bronte, and more. Ed. by Marisa Smith and Kristin Graham. 1990, Hb. USED. $12.00
