Publisher Synopsis
"This book's approach is entirely original. The translations are fluent and faithful, and the analysis is inspired." -- Richard Torrance * Ohio State University * "There are many good points about this book. For one thing, it addresses works that have not received the full attention they deserve .... It also continues an important scholarly practice of filling the gaps in our knowledge of the period, of giving us a more rounded sense of the age in which these writers were producing their literature." -- Stephen Dodd * <I>Journal of Japanese Studies</I> * "Ito's work on Meiji melodrama is groundbreaking. This book reaches beyond individual texts and illuminates many aspects of Japanese culture and society of the era. It is lucid, smart, and elegantly written." -Ann Sherif, Oberlin College Read more...
