Donald Keene combines informative works on two forms of classical
Japanese theater into a single volume. The No text looks at
all aspects of this traditional theater form including its
history, its stage and props, the use of music and dance in
its performances, the plays as literature, and the aesthetics
of No. Also discussed are Kyogen, the comic farces that are
typically interspersed with the solemn No dramas. |
