This book explores how two early modern and two modern Japanese
writers - Yosa Buson (1716-83), Ema Saiko (1787-1861), Masaoka
Shiki (1867-1902), and Natsume Soseki (1867-1916) - experimented
with the poetic artifice afforded by the East Asian literati
(bunjin) tradition, a repertoire of Chinese and Japanese poetry and
painting. Their experiments generated a poetics of irony that
transformed the lineaments of lyric expression in literati culture
and advanced the emergence of modern prose poetry in Japanese
literature. Through rigorous close readings, this study changes our
understanding of the relationship between lyric form and the
representation of self, sense, and feeling in Japanese poetic
writing from the late eighteenth through the early twentieth
century. The book aims to reach a broad audience, including
specialists in East Asian Studies, Anglophone literary studies, and
Comparative Literature.
