Monumenta Nipponica Review by Peter Flueckiger

1 Comment Posted by on March 31, 2013

The March 2013 edition of Monumenta Nipponica includes a review of my book The Observable Mundane: Vernacular Chinese and the Emergence f a Literary Discourse on Popular Narrative in Edo Japan (Seoul National University Press) by Peter Flueckiger of Pomona College. I think the review is quite thoughtful and points out the  major problematic in my study of the status of Chinese vernacular narrative within the intellectual discourse of the Edo period.

    Dear Emanuel,

    Interesting review!

    If possible, like to see how you respond to the review, especially regarding your interpretation regarding the critic’s simplistic explanation. Just because someone wrote in ancient Chinese, does it mean that others could not read his writings?
