The Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 has been widely seen as a
historical turning-point. For the first time in modern history an
Asian and a European country competed on equal terms, overturning
the prevailing balance of power. Based on a wide range of original
source material in Russian, Japanese and other languages, this book
goes beyond the military and international political grand
narratives to examine the war's social, cultural, literary and
intellectual impact in their historical context. In Japan the war
reinforced the country's self-image as a 'coming' nation, while in
Russia, combined with the revolution of 1905 and later political
and social upheaval, it was seen as separating the old regime from
the new. Throughout the world, 'spirit' was seen to be a decisive
factor, and cultural considerations determined the war's
interpretation. Featuring contributions by established scholars in
the fields of military history and the history and literature of
both Russia and Japan, this book offers for the first time a
comparative perspective on the symbolic meaning of the conflict.
