This study contains twenty-two essays by leading historians on the
Tokugawa Period (1600-1868), eight of which have never before been
published. The Tokugawa Period has long been seen as one of Eastern
feudalism, awaiting the breakthrough that came with the Meiji
enlightenment and the opening of Japan to the West. The general
thrust of these papers is to show that in many institutional
aspects Japan was far from backward before the Meiji Period, and
that many of the preconditions of modernization were present and
developing much earlier than has generally been believed. This
collection will be particularly valuable to students and scholars
of comparative and Japanese modernization. Originally published in
1968. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
