 | | Modern Japanese Literature: “Readings in Taishô Literature.” An examination of the modern Japanese short story with a focus on the narrative intertwining of personal experience, emotional affects, on the one hand, and of the impersonal structures of allusion and citation, on the other. |
 | | Possibilities include works by Shiga Naoya (1883-1971), Naka Kansuke (1885-1965), Akutagawa Ryûnosuke (1892-1927), Satô Haruo (1892-1964), Hori Tatsuo (1904-1953), and Kajii Motojirô (1901-1932). |
 | | Through close readings of specific works, we will explore how writers experimented with the resources of literary language during the formative years of Taishô Japan. |
