Dawn to the West: A History of Japanese Literature - Japanese Literature of the the Modern Era: Poetry, Drama, Criticism (Hardcover, Volume 4)

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.
