Donald Keene's definitive history of modern Japanese literature is
an achievement beyond the range and scope of any other Western
writer. The fourth book of his series offers comprehensive insight
into Japanese poetry, drama, and criticism -- including studies of
important trends and developments such as the traditional poetic
forms of tanka and haiku, poetry in the Meiji and Taisho dynastic
periods, modern drama and the literature of kabuki, and modern
criticism from the Meiji through the Showa periods.
The product of fifteen years of writing, research, and immersion
in primary source literature, "Dawn to the West" features an
introduction, an appendix, a glossary, an index, and a selected
list of translations into English.
