"Japanese literature is most extensive in its range and form and this introduction to it covers all its various branches -- poetry, plays, novels and other prose writings -- and compares them with parallel developments in the West. Western influence on Japanese literature is more extensive than is commonly supposed and the author devotes a chapter to a discussion of this. He also has many interesting things to say about the influence of Haiku poetry and No plays on Western writers." Taken from blurb.
