LLEA 24302 - Japanese Literature II

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

East Asian Lang & Lit

Description:

This course is designed to trace the changes in Japanese literature, which itself is based on the changes in society. The seventh century is viewed as the start of Japanese literature. Authors then developed their narratives, moving from magical thought toward realistic description. In the tenth and eleventh centuries court ladies analyzed themselves from the woman's viewpoint in works such as The Tale of Genji. After the thirteenth century, warrior lords appeared in the literature, establishing a new literary tradition. The development of the status of the ordinary people, meanwhile, changed medieval literature into a popular medium through forms such as haiku.
