Darkness and Desire, 18041864, is the third volume in a monumental new seriesthe first collection of kabuki play translations to be published in nearly a quarter of a century. Fiftyone plays, published in four volumes, vividly trace kabuki's changing relations to Japanese society during the premodern era.The fourteen plays translated in Volume 3, Darkness and Desire, 18041864, mark an extreme point in the development of kabuki dramaturgy. The plays are remarkable, even within kabuki, for their intense theatricality, gutsy individualism of character, coldblooded and ferocious violence, realism pushed into fantasy and grotesquery, novelty for its own sake, sexual aggressiveness, and assertion of female will. The plays depict a society in extremis, the end of an era, a time often marked by unmitigated darkness and desire.
