Notes Bibliography IndexReviewsIn this bold rereading of four literary giants from the Meiji-Taishō period – Sōseki, Ōgai, Akutagawa and Mushanokōji – Anri Yasuda deftly analyzes their aesthetics while also revealing the ideology and critical engagement that lie behind their artistic ideals. Placing the writers in dialogue with each other, Yasuda shows how they understood ‘literature’ as a conceptual register to think through real-world questions, connecting closely with their subject matter and their readers, then and now. -- Rachael Hutchinson, author of <i>Nagai Kafū's Occidentalism: Defining the Japanese Self</i> Author InformationAnri Yasuda is an assistant professor of Japanese in the Department of East Asian Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at the University of Virginia.
