Edward Gordon Craig was an artist philosopher whose daring stage
sets were many years ahead of their time and whose theories about
the use of masks in theater remain startling even today. His work
with bookplates is too little remembered, but the designs are a
wonderful introduction to his aesthetic theories and his
experiments with light and shadow, as this unique volume
illustrates.

Edward Gordon Craig (1872-1966) was the most brilliant and
influential stage designer this century. Always a controversial
figure, he set out to revolutionise the theatre by creating a new
art, the art of the theatre. Almost single-handed he formulated the
principles on which a modern approach to stage design would be
based. In his writings and engravings he transformed stage scenery
from painted back-cloth into an abstract three-dimensional world of
form and light. Craig's reputation as a designer is firmly
established; his brilliance as a writer is only beginning to be
recognised. Index to the Story of My Days shows him at his most
self-revealing. As the original edition announced, 'Anything less
like the conventional book of memoirs it would be difficult to
imagine'. This 1981 reissue includes a specially written
introductory essay by Peter Holland assessing the importance of
Craig's career in the history of stage design.
