  Japanese literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although Japanese literature and Japanese authors are perhaps not as well known in the west as those in the European and American canons, Japan possesses an ancient and rich literary tradition that draws upon a millennium and a half of written records.
Literature during this time was written during the largely peaceful Tokugawa Period (commonly referred to as the Edo Period).

 Literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Literature is literally "acquaintance with letters" as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary (from the Latin littera meaning "an individual written character (letter)").
Critics may exclude works from the classification "literature", for example, on the grounds of a poor standard of grammar and syntax, of an unbelievable or disjointed story-line, or of inconsistent or unconvincing characters.
Deep thematic content is not required in literature; however, some readers would say that all stories inherently project some kind of outlook on life that can be taken as a theme, regardless of whether or not this is the intent of the author.

 " Religion in Early American Literature (1600-1855)"
The literature still delivered a moral, but more and more, it was left to the reader to supply his or her own moral from the material the author offered.
The lessons of the literature are clear: 1) Morton was an immoral man (haughty, individualistic, drunk); 2) the colony did their best to correct him; 3) such correction was to no avail so he was separated from the colony.
The major effect of the Enlightenment on American literature was to move it out of the pulpit and onto the streets of the cities and towns and into the homes of everyday people.

 Early Modern Japanese Literature; An Anthology, 1600-1900; Haruo Shirane
The present anthology, which spans three centuries of creative writing in all forms, ranging from philosophical tracts and poetry to proto-comic books and playtexts, is the first single volume I know of in any language to encompass with such gusto the best and most representative writing accomplished during these many decades.
This is the first anthology ever devoted to early modern Japanese literature, spanning the period from 1600 to 1900, known variously as the Edo or the Tokugawa, one of the most creative epochs of Japanese culture.
Since much of early modern Japanese literature is highly allusive and often elliptical, this anthology features introductions and commentary that provide the critical context for appreciating this diverse and fascinating body of texts.

 Amazon.ca: Early Modern Japanese Literature: An Anthology, 1600-1900: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
This is the first attempt at a gathering of the riches available in English translation--with many new translations made for this volume--since Donald Keene's landmark *Anthology of Japanese Literature: From the Earliest Era to the Mid-Nineteenth Century* published half a century ago (1955, to be precise).
The core and plan of Shirane's anthology revolves around the speedy and often jumpy evolution of literally dozens of genres of popular literature amidst a continuing reverence for and attempts to adapt the fundamentals of classical Heian, medieval Japanese, and Chinese culture to the new plebeian situation of Tokugawa Japan.
Make no mistake: Shirane's *Early Modern Japanese Literature* has pages and pages that offer enjoyable reading, but it is still a textbook, designed for those who wish to appreciate and learn something about not only specific works and their authors, but where each fits in the overall tapestry of Japanese and world literature.
