Reviews

Information

"With poetry selections by Amy Vladeck Heinrich, Leith Morton, and Hiroaki Sato, poetry editors." Abridged Edition.

Praise for "The Columbia Anthology of Modern Japanese Literature, Volumes 1 and 2" "An extremely ambitious anthology that fills a serious gap in resources for teaching modern Japanese literature. The translations represent sensitive and highly intelligent responses to some of the key texts of the period and constitute an enormous contribution to the field."--Stephen Snyder, University of California"A rich and comprehensive anthology that includes not only the finest samples of poetry, drama, and prose fiction but also what are often considered marginal, such as political accounts and detective stories.... An immense variety of literary scenes that illustrate stages of modernization in Japan."--Makoto Ueda, Stanford University
