Старояпонската литература
Category: Japanology
Language: Bulgarian

   How does the idea of landscape emerge in Japanese literature, what mechanisms give rise to it, and are these mechanisms related to the different perspective of classical Eastern painting? When does the need for confessionalism arise? How does one come to understand intimacy and intimate experience in modern Japanese fiction? When did the figure of the child become important to literature? And how does the interpretation of the pre-modern tradition change in late 19th and early 20th century Japan? This book answers these and many other questions by shedding light on some of Japan's most famous modern authors and introducing the processes of artistic development.
