Description
ix, 225 pages; 22 cm.
Summary
This text traces the history of noh and kyogen, the first major Japanese theatrical arts. Going beyond P.G. O'Neill's 'Early No Drama' of 1958, it covers the full period of noh's medieval development and includes a chapter dedicated to the comic art of kyogen, which has often been left in noh's shadow. It is based on contemporary research in Japan, Asia, Europe and America, and embraces current ideas of theatre history, providing a richly contextualized account which looks closely at theatrical forms and genres as they arose.
