Revenge Drama in European Renaissance and Japanese Theatre - From Hamlet to Madame Butterfly (Hardcover, First)

"Revenge Drama in European Renaissance and Japanese Theatre" is a collection of essays that both explores the tradition of revenge drama in Japan and compares that tradition with that in European Renaissance drama. Why are the two great plays of each tradition, plays regarded as defining their nations and eras, "Kanadehon Chushingura "and "Hamlet," both revenge plays? What do the revenge dramas of Europe and Japan tell us about the periods that produced them and how have they been modernized to speak to contemporary audiences? By interrogating the manifestation of evil women, ghosts, satire, parody, and censorship, contributors such as Leonard Pronko, J. Thomas Rimer, Carol Sorgenfrei, Laurence Kominz explore these issues.
