5.0 out of 5 stars A classic study of late 19th century Japanese literature, November 26, 2004
This review is from: Transformations of Sensibility: The Phenomenology of Meiji Literature (Michigan Monograph Series in Japanese Studies) (Hardcover)
This book was first published in Japan in the early 1980s and quickly became legendary among readers and scholars of Meiji period (1868-1912) literature. It's not an easy book, but it rewards the time and effort spent reading it. It looks at how experiments in how to write fiction in the 1880s and 1890s led writers to try out a wild variety of new forms of narrating voice, and explores the psychological and philosophical implications of each form. The English translations are clear and readable.
