Description
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.
