LLEA 24601 - Japanese Literature I

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

East Asian Lang & Lit

Description:

This course is designed to survey modern Japanese literature from its early stage to the present. Modern Japanese literature is the product of modern Japanese society. The making of modern Japan started in the middle of the nineteenth century when the western powers put pressure on Japanese political leaders to change an outdated feudalistic system. The new system, however, merely preserved the old ways under the guise of modernization. Modern Japanese literature depicts this mixture of the old and the new and offers the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of the people who constitute modern Japanese society.
