The great medieval playwrights subtly spoke from, to, and of the heart; Tyler lets them sing. -- Paul S. Atkins, author of <i>Revealed Identity: The Noh Plays of Komparu Zenchiku</i> It is hard to see how Royall Tyler could improve on perfection, but in this latest offering from our most talented N translator, a revised translation of twenty N plays, Tyler achieves an ideal combination of elegance and accessibility. Including seven non-repertoire (bangai) plays, three additional essays, and several translations of engi (temple origin legends), this book is highly recommended as a classroom source for understanding N in Zeamis time. -- Susan Blakeley Klein, author of <i>Dancing the Dharma: Religious and Political Allegory in Japanese Noh Theater</i>
