Practices of the Sentimental Imagination

"The history of the book in nineteenth-century Japan follows an uneven course that resists the simple chronology often used to mark a divide between premodern and modern literary history." "By examining the obscured histories of publication, circulation, and reception of widely consumed literary works from late Edo to the early Meiji period, Jonathan Zwicker traces a genealogy of the literary field across a long nineteenth century: one that stresses continuities between the generic conventions of early modern fiction and the modern novel. In the literature of sentiment Zwicker locates a tear-streaked lens through which to view literary practices and readerly expectations that evolved across the century."--BOOK JACKET.
