Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Playmaking: And Other Discussions of the Drama Of all the theorists of the theater in the nineteenth century Francisque Sarcey was the shrewdest. He had an incomparable intimacy with the drama and an insatiable desire to discover the principles of the art of playmaking. Yet when he once set out to discuss these principles he felt obliged to begin by disclaiming any intention of issuing a series of edicts to be obeyed to the letter by all intending playwrights. "Most readers," he declared, "when you speak to them of a treatise on the art of the theater, or to express it more simply, as did our fathers, when you speak to them of the Rules of the Drama, believe that you have in mind a code of precepts by the aid of which one is assured, if he writes, of composing a piece without faults, or if he criticizes, of being able to place his finger precisely on every defect." Sarcey went on to confess that this belief in the all-sufficiency of a sequence of dramatic dogmas was peculiarly French and that it was a long establisht tradition.

Book excerpt: This volume makes available for the first time a complete translation in English of a key text for our understanding of Kabuki, viz. Kezairoku, Sakusha Shikihô (Valuable Notes on Playwriting, A Playwrights’ Methodology, written 1801), being the only extant treatise fully devoted to the subject of Kabuki playwriting. At the hand of this vital text, the author addresses the history, methodology, and practitioners of Kabuki playwriting of the Edo Period (1603-1867.) The reader will find a critical examination of Kezairoku, and discussions regarding the connections between the Kabuki and literary worlds of Edo Japan, and between playwriting and the oral arts. The availability of the entire Kezairoku in English, together with a full contextualization of its teachings and meanings, offers a volume of great significance to both Japan and theatre scholars.
