Roth explores the role of traditions in the institutional development of the noh theater from the 14th century-late 20th century. He focuses on the development of key traditions that constitute the "ethos of noh," the ideology that empowered certain groups of actors at the expense of others, and how this ethos fostered noh's professionalization.
