18th Century Japan - Culture and Society (Paperback, New Ed)

This collection of essays on 18th-century Japan shows a fascination with the social context behind the development of aesthetics, drama, language, art and philosophy, whether it be the world of the pleasure quarters or the Shogun's court. Contributors include: Y. Teruoka, writing on the pleasure quarters; A. Gerstle, expanding on the Kabuki tradition; B. Torigoe, who explores the dominant Joruri narrative music; H. Clark, who surveys the development of the lively Edo language; M. Morris, exploring the relationship of poet/painter Buson with his patrons; T.J. Harper, who examines the role of social status as an influence on scholarship and the development of the National Learning tradition; M. Nakano, challenging the orthodox interpretation of high and popular culture in the 18th century; and R. Backus, who conveys the essence of the ideals of the samurai culture through his study of the political reformer Matsudaira Sadanobu.
