Michael D. Friedman's second edition of this stage history of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus adds an examination of twelve major theatrical productions and one film that appeared in the years 1989-2009. Friedman identifies four lines of descent in the recent performance history of the play: the stylised, realistic, darkly comic, and political approaches, which culminate in Julie Taymor's harrowing film Titus (1999). Aspects of Taymor's eclectic vision of ancient Rome under the grip of modern fascism were copied by several subsequent productions, making Titus the most characteristic, as well as the most influential, contemporary performance of the play. Friedman's work extends Alan Dessen's original study to include Taymor's film, along with chapters devoted to the efforts of international directors including Gregory Doran, Silviu Purcarete, and Yukio Ninagawa.

Finally, there is an epilogue by Peter Brook, Jonathan Miller and Oliver Sacks. ;

Mit dem wachsenden Interesse an japanischer Literatur und der hierzulande steigenden Zahl verfügbarer Übersetzungen wächst auch das Bedürfnis, mehr über diese Literatur in ihrem traditionellen und aktuellen Umfeld zu erfahren. Wie etwa verhält es sich mit dem Einfluß westlicher Literatur, der das literarische Schaffen seit dem späten 19. Jahrhundert so nachhaltig geprägt haben soll? Welches sind charakteristische Stilfiguren und Traditionszusammenhänge, die die Literatur, aber auch das Reden über sie bestimmen? Und schließlich: Welchen Stellenwert hat die Kunstgattung Literatur in den Augen der japanischen Literaturkritik und Philologie? Der vorliegende Band behandelt exemplarische Ausschnitte aus diesem Themen- und Fragenkomplex. Der Einfluß des europäischen Naturalismus auf die Erzählliteratur im frühen 20. Jahrhundert, Mishima und Thomas Mann sowie Abe Kōbō und der Nouveau Roman werden abgehandelt. Erst wenn wir mehr wissen über die Entwicklungsgeschichte der modernen japanischen Literatur, über ihre traditionelle Prägung wie über ihre Erneuerungsversuche, werden wir ihre Fremdheit und ihre Universalität im Rahmen einer gegenwärtigen Weltliteratur recht zu würdigen wissen.
