For specialists, the historically informed rereading of \u003ci\u003eThe Essence of the Novel\u003c\/i\u003e brings an important debate to an English-speaking audience. Ueda also offers a detailed and well-researched analysis of several novels that have not been translated and are rarely discussed, such as \u003ci\u003eThe Characters of Modern Students\u003c\/i\u003e. For nonspecialists, this is a fascinating case study of how the novel, which in a European context was a genre-defying style, becomes a genre-defining mode of writing in Japan and how a culture that has a nearly thousand-year tradition of ctional prose narratives encountered the Western novel and created literature as an academic subject.\" -- Deborah Shamoon * \u003ci\u003eModern Philology\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  Acknowledgments\txxx  Notes on Japanese Names and Terms\txxx  1.\tIntroduction\t1  2.\tThe Genealogy of the Shosetsu: From Gesaku to \"Shosetsu = Novel\"\t000  3. \tThe Main Constituents of the Shosetsu: Shosetsu shinzui's Criticism of Bakin and \"Depoliticization\"\t000  4.\tConstructing \"Asia\" and Imperial Longing\t000  5. \tTosei shosei katagi: The \"Social\" Shosetsu\t000  6. \tUnraveling the Mechanism of Concealment: Historicizing Shosetsu shinzui\t000  Afterword\t000  Notes\t000  Glossary\t000  Works Cited\t000  Index","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405571662167,"sku":"9780804757782","price":55.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804757782.jpg?v=1730492877","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/concealment-of-politics-politics-of-concealment-9780804757782","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
