SatÅ Haruo and Modern Japanese Literature
Series: - Brill's Japanese Studies Library, Volume: 55
Author:
In SatÅ Haruo and Modern Japanese Literature, Charles Exley offers the first comprehensive examination of SatÅâs literary oeuvre from the 1910s through the 1930s. The study examines the ways in which selected novels and short stories interact with cultural discourses of the time, including the fantastic, the discourse on melancholy and mental illness, detective fiction and early film, colonial encounter and critique of civilization, and hysteria and psychoanalysis.
Exleyâs alignment of SatÅâs fictional work with its cultural and historical context illustrates the complex ways in which SatÅâs aesthetic projections derived from and comment on Japanâs experience with modernization during the twentieth century.
