| Abstract | "In Critical Failures, Miyabi Goto examines the rise of hihyō, a practice of critical reading, in Japan's Meiji period (1868-1912). Though widely considered a failure, Goto argues that hihyō cultivated multiple creative paths into which critical reading might proceed"-- Provided by publisher. |
