Hi Folks --
I have a graduate student interested in the topic of distraught/mad mothers in Noh. It seems to me a book was published in English on thistopic in the last year or so, but I can't remember the title or author and a general search turned up nothing in the library. Since she's interested in the wider issues of mad women in medieval society, I'm sending this query to PMJS first, rather than J-Lit (but I may follow up with a query there). Thanks for any leads in either English or Japanese!

Subject: Mad women in medieval Japan
Hi Susan (and all),
Here's a start in English:
Bainbridge, Emiko Ohara. Women's Madness in Three Major Dramatic Traditions.Doctoral dissertation, University of Illinois,Urbana-Campaign, 1991.
Bainbridge, Emiko Ohara. "The Madness of Mothers in Japanese Noh Drama." In U.S.-Japan Women's Journal: English Supplement No. 3 (1992): 84-110.
There are also some interesting perspectives in:
Baba Mitsuko. Hashiru onna: uta no chuusei kara. Chikuma Shobo, 1992.
best,
Hank

Dear Susan,
One book in Japanese that deals with mad women in medieval literature including noh is Baba Mitsuko, Hashiru onna: Uta no chusei kara (Chikuma Shobo, 1992). Hosokawa Ryoichi's book, Itsudatsu no chusei (JICC, 1993) includes a chapter on madness that focuses on madwomen in noh.
Hope this is helpful.
