I have re-edited for web distribution an article published in 1998 in the departmental journal of the Faculty of International Studies, Meiji Gakuin University, Yokohama, Japan.
Michael Watson, "Modes of Reception: Heike monogatari and the Nô play Kogô," International and Regional Studies [Kokusaigaku kenkyû ], No. 16 (March, 1997), pp. 275-303.
In preparing this electronic version, errors have been corrected and other minor changes have been made. All Japanese characters have been omitted, and the circumflex has been substituted for the macron in romanized words such as Kogô. The original version contains a full romanization of the Japanese text facing the translation. This has been omitted here. [2000.10.14]
