Fate, Nature, and Literary Form: The Politics of the Tragic in Japanese Literature (Studies in Comparative Literature and Intellectual History)

A theoretical reexamination of the concept of the "tragic" combined with detailed analyses of Japanese literary texts. Inspired by Western critical theory, the author unveils a rich tradition of tragic literature in Japan that has registered the unbridgeable gap between universal ideals and social values at a historical moment.
