EAL 246 Modern Japanese Poetry
After Japan’s semi-seclusion ended in the mid-nineteenth century, the country witnessed an extraordinary blossoming of experimentation and enrichment in poetic forms, diction, subject matter, and purpose. This course will begin with a brief introduction to the venerated poetic traditions of pre-modern Japan, pick up with the major poetic reforms of the Meiji period (1868-1912), and then follow the remarkable course of Japanese poetry-in its momentous historical context-up to the present. Topics covered will include modernization, gender, class, translation, linguistic nationalism, and literary theory. All readings are in English.4 credits {L}
