ABSTRACT

At tIle outset of this volume, tIle writer recommellded that the Occidel1tal, in approaclling the I(abul{i play, should assume all attitude similar to that of 011e who looks at Mt. Huzi loomillg ill the distallce. The beginner was warned not to be too critical--that is sciel1tifically-of the COlltents. Having prepared the reader by \vhat has been said in the foregoing about the esselltials of !{abul<:i, the writer hastens to add that the KabuI{i play is not without merit in its contellts. Tllis merit, hovvever, is differellt from that approved of by ideas of nlodern literature and moderll drama.
