Manufacturing Modern Japanese Literature: Publishing, Prizes
Manufacturing Modern Japanese LiteraturePublishing, Prizes, and the Ascription of Literary Value\nAuthor(s): Edward Mack\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Duke University Press, United States\nImprint: Duke University Press\nISBN-13: 9780822346609, 978-0822346609\nSynopsis\nEmphasizing how modes of book production, promotion, and consumption shape ideas of literary value, Edward Mack examines the role of Japans publishing industry in defining modern Japanese literature. In the late nineteenth century and early twentieth, as cultural and economic power consolidated in Tokyo, the citys literary and publishing elites came to dominate the dissemination and preservation of Japanese literature. As Mack explains, they conferred cultural value on particular works by creating prizes and multivolume anthologies that signaled literary merit. One such anthology, the Complete Works of Contemporary Japanese Literature (published between 1926 and 1931), provided many readers with their first experience.
