Representations of the Native Place in Modern Japanese Literature
Samenvatting
Examining the development of literature depicting the native place (furusato) from the mid-Meiji period through the late 1930s as a way of articulating the uprootedness and sense of loss many experienced as Japan modernized, this book focuses on four authors typing this trend: Kunikida Doppo, Shimazaki Toson, Sato Haruo, and Shiga Naoya.
