Reexamining Japanese Modernity Through Literature: Edo to Meiji
ALIT 215
Spring 2010 not offered
Crosslisting: EAST 215

Japanese modernity has traditionally been described as "westernization," where everything changes dramatically from the early modern period of Edo due to influences from abroad. This course will reexamine this equation of Japanese modernity with westernization by exploring both the disjunctions and continuities between the two periods of early modern and modern. The readings will cover some of the major canonical works from the 1800s up to the Second World War.
