This first full length critical biography of one of the most
significant figures in Japanese Studies in the last hundred years
is based on an earlier work published in Japanese (Iwanami Shoten,
1990). Ota sees Chamberlain as a giant of his period, both
academically and intellectually. His achievements include the first
publication of a translation of the Kojiki, his pioneering work as
the 'father' of Japanese linguistics, and the acclaimed Things
Japanese which served generations as an everyman encyclopaedia.
However, Ota also acknowledges Chamberlain's vision in recognising
the distinctive merits and strengths of Japanese society and
culture at a time of xenophobic Europeanism, made possible by the
fact that Chamberlain was ahead of his times as a multi-lingual and
multi-cultural personality.
This critical biography of Basil Hall Chamberlain, one of the most
significant figures in Japanese studies in the last hundred years,
is based on earlier work published in Japanese (Iwanami Shoten,
1990) but has been considerably enlarged.
