Inventing the Classics: Modernity, National Identity, and Japanese Literature
Shirane and Suzuki examine how the Japanese canon of "classics" (The Tale of Genji, The Tale of the Heike, Noh drama, Saikaku, Chikamatsu, and Basho) was constructed as part of the creation of Japan as a modern nation-state and as a result of Western influence.
