Synopsis "Japanese Literature: From Murasaki to Murakami (Key Issues in Asian Studies)"
Japanese Literature: From Murasaki to Murakami provides a concise introduction to the literature of Japan that traces its origins in the seventh century and explores a literary legacyand its cultural contextsmarked by the intersection of aristocratic elegance and warrior austerity. Coverage extends to the present day with a focus on the complex twists and turns that mark Japans literature in the modern period. In under one-hundred pages of narrative, Marcuss account of Japanese literature ranges from the 712 CE publication of Japans first literary work, the Kojiki, to internationally-famous 21st century authors. Readers get a sense of past and contemporary literary themes and well written vignettes of the men and women who produced works that are an integral part of Japans literary traditions. Readers are introduced to Japanese literature, but Marcuss linkages to history and culture increase the likelihood that many readers will be inspired to learn more about Japan and its rich history. Marcuss compelling interpretations of significant works of Japanese literature and their historical moments complement carefully selected passages of literary prose, poetry, and images from Japan's long literary and cultural history. This small gem of a book is essential for students, teachers, and general audiences interested in Japan and its long literary traditions.
