Ebook: Spirits of another sort : the plays of Izumi Kyōka

"Spirits of Another Sort is a literary-critical study that traces the development of Kyoka's work from the melodramatic formulas of his early ideological fiction to the increasingly grotesque and fantastic permutations of the original pattern in his plays of the Taisho era. It is important reading for those whose interests lie in Japanese literature, theater, and film and in crosss-cultural theater and film."--BOOK JACKET. Includes translations and commentaries of three plays: Kaijin bessō, Tenshu monogatari, and Yashagaike.
