Routledge Handbook of Modern Japanese Literature by Rachael Hutchinson

Routledge Handbook of Modern Japanese Literature by Rachael Hutchinson

The handbook provides a comprehensive overview of how we study Japanese literature today. The chapters survey the state of the field through a number of pressing issues and themes, examining the ways in which it is possible to read modern Japanese literature and situate it in relation to critical theory.

"The Routledge Handbook is particularly refreshing because it does not tackle Japanese literature from an exclusively chronological perspectiveInstead, the essays are grouped thematically, creating sections on space and time, gender and sexuality, identity, technology and several others. As Rachael Hutchinson and Leith Morton aptly argue in their introduction, it is this inclusion of significant sections on queer and female fiction that differentiates this handbook from its predecessors and makes it truly up-to-date."
