Ibsen Society - Ibsen Society

Japanese: イブセン会 - いぶせんかい

...In contrast to the Bungei Kyokai, which started by training new actors and adopted a realistic and gradual approach, the Jiyu Gekijo, which was run by Kabuki actors including female actors, had fewer performances and audiences per work, and was more of a radical activity to introduce modern Western drama than a theatrical one.

…川上眉山，徳田秋声，小山内薫，薄田泣菫，野口米次郎，長谷川天渓，正宗白鳥ほか，流派を超えて多彩な顔ぶれが出入りしたが，やがて自然主義系作家の懇親の場と変貌した観がある。そのため，07年，別にイブセン会という勉強の場がもたれるようになり，事実上，会の歴史は終わった。その歴史的意義は，ひとつに自然主義文学の土壌づくりにあったと言える。…
