Japanese No drama is one of the great art forms that has fascinated people throughout the world. The late Yukio Mishima, one of Japan's outstanding post-war writers, infused new life into the form by using it for plays that preserve the style and inner spirit of No and are at the same time so modern, so direct, and intelligible that they could, as he suggested, be played on a b...(展开全部)

本书作者通过对莎士比亚主要的八个历史剧整体系列的综合阐释，通过分析莎士比亚对待这些历史主题所保持的精思熟虑以及他大多数历史剧的精致架构，让人们更加相信莎士比亚是受过教育的，在广阔的智慧和思考的力量上是可以媲美但丁和弥尔顿的诗人；他提升了编年史剧的水平，将编年史剧变成一种独立的真正的戏剧类型，而不只是悲剧的附属品。并且从一开始到最后、在他所有的历史剧中始终对秩序原则有着稳固的意识，并因为这种意识而与同时代那些更具哲学思维的作家们更为接近。 莎士比亚历史剧以史诗的方式表现了他头脑中的中世纪以及他那个时代的生活图景，其中心主题则是被置于庄严而高度道德化语境中的英格兰或国家主题。 在西方文教传统谱系中，不断有学人将莎士比亚与柏拉图并举。莎士比亚戏剧以历史舞台为背景，深涉人世政治问题的底蕴，尤其是王者问题，一再激发后人掂量人性和人世的幽微，为后世探究何谓优良政...(展开全部)
