Thorough and insightful, this study of the Japanese version of the I-novel provides a means of researching and interpreting the tradition of the genre, linking it to forms of autobiographical fiction as well as to cultural assumptions of the classical period of Japanese history. Hijiya-Kirschnereit provides a model of systematic inquiry into literary traditions that will stimulate American and English Japanologists, providing a much-needed bridge between German Japanologists and the rest of the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Irmela Hijiya-Kirschnereit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674773195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674773196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.23w x 1.41d","brand":"Irmela Hijiya-Kirschnereit","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086762062079,"sku":"9780674773196","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7242e3d9-52e4-4f43-aac0-a44dea9258ce.jpg?v=1769096428","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rituals-of-self-revelation-irmela-hijiya-kirschnereit-9780674773196","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
