Classical World Literatures: A Comparison of the Japanese-Chinese and Greco-Latin Traditions
39.99 €
This book compares the development of Japanese-Chinese and Greco-Roman literatures and explores the ways in which “younger” cultures related to their venerable predecessors. How were writers in Rome and Japan influenced by the presence of an older, “model” culture whose sophistication they admired while also seeking to assert their own distinctiveness? Examining the works of writers from Sugawarano Michizane to Sei Shonagon, from Cicero to Ovid and Martian, Wiebke Denecke demonstrates the striking similarities between the way early Japanese writers created their own literature by drawing on Chinese artistic achievements and the way Latin writers drew on and challenged Greek experience.
