{"product_id":"on-the-bullet-train-with-judith-pascoe-9780472130603","title":"On the Bullet Train with Emily Brontë: Wuthering Heights in Japan","description":"While teaching in Japan, Judith Pascoe was fascinated to discover the popularity that Emily Brontë's novel \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e has enjoyed there. Nearly one hundred years after its first formal introduction to the country, the novel continues to engage the imaginations of Japanese novelists, filmmakers, manga artists, and others, resulting in numerous translations, adaptations, and dramatizations. \u003ci\u003eOn the Bullet Train with Emily Brontë\u003c\/i\u003e is Pascoe's lively account of her quest to discover the reasons for the continuous Japanese embrace of \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e. At the same time, the book chronicles Pascoe's experience as an adult student of Japanese. She contemplates the multiple Japanese translations of Brontë, as contrasted to the single (or nonexistent) English translations of major Japanese writers. Carrying out a close reading of a distant country's \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e, Pascoe begins to see American literary culture as a small island on which readers are isolated from foreign literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Pascoe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472130609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472130603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/16\/2017","brand":"Judith Pascoe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064992772351,"sku":"9780472130603","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cda31168-685d-4656-a312-f08f7fddcf53.jpg?v=1768672420","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-the-bullet-train-with-judith-pascoe-9780472130603","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
