Paperback with pictorial cover, 606 pp. The Tokugawa family held the shogunate from 1603 to 1867, ruling Japan and keeping the island nation isolated from the rest of the world for more than 250 years. This second volume in a four-part series by leading Japanese literature scholar Donald Keene-hailed as "exhaustive but always readable and often amusing" (NYTBR)-spans the age in which Japanese literature began to reach a popular audience, as opposed to the elite aristocratic readers to whom it had previously been confined. Keene explores each of the new, popular genres that arose, including haiku, kabuki, and the witty, urbane prose of the newly ascendant merchant class. New.. 1999.
