Expanded Course Description
This is the first term of a three term sequence that introduces Japanese literature from earliest times to the present. In this course we begin by looking at the creation myths and early oral poetry of Japan. As the courtly period develops between the 10th and 12th centuries we read the classics of court literature including poetries, diaries, fiction, and folk tales. As Japan broke up into civil war in the 12th century we shift our attention to the great works of warrior literature which characterize medieval Japan. We also consider the writings of Buddhist hermits and the Noh theater. In short, this course covers a variety of genres that serve as the basis for both the courtly and samurai traditions in Japanese literature.
