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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Goodman (1946-2011) is the translator of \u003ci\u003eAfter Apocalypse: Four Japanese Plays of Hiroshima and Nagasak\u003c\/i\u003ei, editor-translator of \u003ci\u003eLand of Volcanic Ash\u003c\/i\u003e; and author of \u003ci\u003eJapanese Drama and Culture\u003c\/i\u003e in the 1960s.
