No knowledge of Japanese is required. This course will explore the exuberant popular culture of the Tokugawa Period, exemplified by haiku, the puppet and Kabuki theaters, and a renaissance in fiction; the transformation of Japanese literature under Western influence; and the new literature, reconciling Western and Japanese modes, of writers like Soseki, Tanizaki, and Kawabata. All readings are in English translation.
