Summary Annotation This history of Japanese literature provides comprehensive coverage of the premodern and modern eras in a single volume. Arranged topically in a series of short, accessible chapters for easy access and reference, it gives insight into both canonical texts and many lesser known, popular genres, from centuries-old folk literature to the detective fiction of modern times. Various period introductions provide an overview of recurrent issues that span many decades, if not centuries. It also places Japanese literature in a wider East Asian tradition of Sinitic writing and provides comprehensive coverage of women's literature as well as new popular literary forms, including manga (comic books).
