BibTex List of Materials Related to the Study of Japanese History

From the advent of literary Japonisme late in the nineteenth century through the literary and cultural upheavals of the twentieth century Japanese literature, visual arts, aesthetic principles, and landscapes imaginative and real have attracted the attention of many of the most remarkable and remarked upon poets of Britain and the United States. This work provides a critical and bibliographical overview of the works that constitute the textual fabric of this attraction, focusing particularly on the first half of the twentieth century, when Japan first emerged as a determinative presence in Anglo-American verse. The introduction, 'Anglo-American Poetry and the Special Case of Japan', places the work under study in historical context, and is followed by four bibliographical sections. Section A, 'Critical and Comparative Studies', provides a chronological listing of general secondary works that have addressed the use of Japanese subjects and forms in Anglo-American poetry. Section B, 'Poets Central to the Study', provides chronological listings of primary and secondary materials by and about twelve writers whose mediation of Japanese subjects and forms was most significant among Anglo-American poets active from 1900 to 1950: Conrad Aiken, Richard Aldington, Laurence Binyon, Edmund Blunden, Witter Bynner, William Empson, Arthur Davison Ficke, John Gould Fletcher, Amy Lowell, William Plomer, Ezra Pound, and W. B. Yeats. Section C, 'Other Materials', includes selected listings of works by and about other Anglo-American poets whose mediation of Japanese materials has been significant (CA), a selected listing of relevant archives (CB), and a selected listing of secondary works that focus on the larger influence of Japan in the West (CC). Section D, 'Sources of Influence and Transmission', provides a bibliographical overview of the writers and texts that have provided Anglo-American poets with many of their images and understandings of Japan and Japanese forms.

Anglo-American poetry and Japan, 1900-1950 : a critical bibliography

Author(s): Fogel, Joshua A. | Editor(s): Fogel, Joshua A. | Abstract: “This ambitious, very important project defines no less than a new field of inquiry, one that scarcely could have been attempted in the past. The essays in this volume add enormously to the documentation of what late-period Chinese art learned from Japan, and begin to formulate conclusions that will enrich future accounts of both Japanese and Chinese art.” James Cahill, University of California, BerkeleyThe modern histories of China and Japan are inexorably intertwined. Their relationship is perhaps most obvious in the fields of political, economic, and military history, but it is no less true in cultural and art history. Yet the traffic in artistic practices and practitioners between China and Japan remains an understudied field. In this volume, an international group of scholars investigates Japan’s impact on Chinese art from the mid-nineteenth century through the 1930s. Individual essays address a range of perspectives, including the work of individual Chinese and Japanese painters, calligraphers, and sculptors, as well as artistic associations, international exhibitions, the collotype production or artwork, and the emergence of a modern canon.Joshua A. Fogel is Canada Research Chair and a professor of history at York University, Toronto, and a specialist in the history of cultural and political ties between China and Japan in the modern era.Contributors: Julia F.

The Role of Japan in Modern Chinese Art

Family Matters: Managing Illness in Late Tokugawa Japan, 1750-1868

This article questions the conventional reading of Nagai Kaf  (1879-1959) as a non-critical writer, arguing that Kaf  's critique of Meiji modernization may be seen most clearly in his publications of 1909-10, when he had just returned to Japan after five years in America and France. Two of these returnee stories are examined to demonstrate how Kaf  used the idea of 'the West' as a defining contrast in order to criticize the Meiji modernization process and to seek out what made Japan 'Japanese'. Kaf  's argument for finding a 'genuine' Japanese civilization for the modern age, rather than slavishly imitating the 'material civilization' of other countries, is analysed in regard to Shinkich l sha nikki (Diary of a Returnee), while his 'Theory of the Orient', put forward in Reish l (Sneers), is examined as a search for the Japanese Self in contrast to its Western Other. Kaf  's increasing focus on the 'genuine' culture of the Edo period,which would culminate in the famous works on the geisha such as Bok...
