Though video systems are now growing ever more accessible; and practical video work is undertaken at every level of education; this is the first book-length historical and theoretical study of the medium. On Video explores video on two levels: first; it examines the relationship between technology and society; and second; it probes the connection between production methods and the communication of meaning.

This book would be a handy book for actors. From a students perspective I found that Manhood helped me to understand what purpose the bit part players of Shakespeares plays brought to the stage and the play itself.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Invaluable aid for actors and spectatorsBy OkieScribeThough it would appear from the title to be a bit esoteric; this book is nonetheless a revelation to any reader interested in Shakespeare. By focusing on the smallest roles in the canon; Mahood illuminates the larger parts and the plays themselves with a different slant of light. Informative for actors approaching any role; large or small; in the plays; and a wealth of edification for the enlightened audience member; this book is extremely engaging and well written; scholarly without being stuffy. Highly recommended for any reader interested in deepening their experience of Shakespeare. This is a classic; and I refer to it frequently.
