DESCRIPTION - Yokomitsu Riichi occupied a central position in the Japanese literary world during the 1920s and 1930s. He is perhaps the most important counterpart in modern Japanese prose literature to the modernist writers at work in Europe during and following World War I. His experimental works of the mid-1920s are a fascinating, self-conscious attempt to introduce the modernism of Europe to what was, by any standards, an alien tradition. These experimental writings are perhaps the most striking example in Japanese literature of what European influence can be. Dennis Keene's study, Yokomitsu Riichi: Modernist, concentrates on these early modernist works. Although he attends fully to Yokomitsu's works as worthy objects of study in themselves, Keene's real subject is the ways in which one literature can affect another. For modern Japanese literature, as for modern Japanese society as a whole, the overwhelming fact is the presence of the West. In this context, Yokomitsu himself emerges as one of the most significant agents of this presence. In demonstrating how Yokomitsu and other writers of the early twentieth century created a new form of Japanese literature, Keene provides not only a significant study in comparative literature, but a paradigm of cross-cultural relations between Japan and the West. inventory #43588 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket with Some Small Tears.…
