The eight essays presented here investigate these questions, examining the contemporary significance of the "classic" Nō, and Kyōgen theater to Japan and the West. They explore the theatrical experience from many perspectives - those of theater, music, dance, art, literature, linguistics, philosophy, religion, history, and sociology. This volume marks the first time the contemporary position of classic Japanese theater has been so broadly investigated.' (Quote taken from inside front flap of dustwrapper). ***First impression of the true first edition, complete in its original dustwrapper. A very good copy of an unusual book - hard to find in the UK. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
