Although he has been touted as Japan's finest prewar playwright,
few of Kishida Kunio's works have been translated into English.
This volume brings together for the first time representative plays
that span the entire course of Kishida's career, including in this
expanded edition, a new translation of his maiden work, Autumn in
the Tyrols. The plays collected in this anthology are the ones
critics have regarded as Kishida's best and that the dramatist
himself preferred. An introductory essay by the editor relates
Kishida's work to his personal psychology and his historical
environment and discusses the controversy that has surrounded him
for his collaboration with military authorities during World War
II.
