Front Cover

M.E. Sharpe, 1994 - Asia - 583 pages
A splendid teaching guide that identifies texts, themes, and comparative contexts which provide avenues of entry for Asian material into core undergraduate courses surveying world literature. Specific "masterworks" are recommended on the basis of their literary value within their own cultural contexts, their literary value as expressions of the human condition, and the quality of available translations. Also included are introductory essays on the "imaginative universe" of each of the three major literary traditions represented in the guide: Indian, Chinese, and Japanese. Paper edition (unseen), $22.50. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
