Major Plays of Chikamatsu gives Western readers a fascinating look at seventeenth-century Japanese culture. Like other playwrights before him, Chikamatsu created characters who are members of a society driven by its mores. However, unlike those of other playwrights of the period, Chikamatsu's characters have multidimensional personalities and unconventional voices, making his art more realistic and complex. Includes The Love Suicides at Sonezaki (Sonezaki ShinjÅ«), The Drum of the Waves of Horikawa (Horikawa Nami no Tsuzumi), Yosaku from Tamba (Tamba Yosaku), The Love Suicides in the Womens Temple (ShinjÅ« MannensÅ), The Courier for Hell (Meido no Hikyaku), Gonza the Lancer (Yari no Gonza), The Uprooted Pine (Nebiki no Kadomatsu), The Girl from Hakata or Love at Sea (Hakata KojorÅ Namimakura), The Love Suicides at Amijima (ShinjÅ« Ten no Amijima), The Battles of Coxinga (Kokusenya Kassen), The Woman-Killer and the Hell of Oil (Onnagoroshi Abura Jigoku)

The Major Plays of Chikamatsu
This is a bit of a mixed bag of a book. There's lots of fascinating material about the history of radio drama, and quite a bit of discussion about the unique capabilities of radio drama as an art form. However, the book has a more academic take than I'd have ideally liked - I'd have preferred slightly less literary theory, and slightly more literary practice. The chapters of the book that do deal with the nitty gritty of writing and producing a radio play have a sketchy, disconnected quality, as if they consist of classroom handouts hastily compiled into book form.
Still, there's much good material in this, and it has a well-annotated bibliography, which I expect to be a good guide to further reading.
