Riassunto

This volume brings together some of the most exciting recent scholarship on Asian literature and culture, spanning all three mainstream cultures of China, Japan, and Korea, along with India. Ranging from Sanskrit poetry of over a thousand years ago to contemporary Chinese fiction, the contributors combine original fi ndings of interest to specialists with a clear style of writing that makes the volume accessible and appealing to the general reader. A unifying concern of the contributors is to give voice to a wide range of literary and scholarly fi gures who were important in their time and remain relevant to our epoch and yet whose significance has been poorly understood.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Verzameling grensverleggend Aziatisch literatuuronderzoek

Het toegankelijk geschreven 'From Marginal to Mainstream' brengt de literatuur van Azië in kaart. Het is een verzameling van grensverleggend Aziatisch literatuuronderzoek. De onderwerpen gaan van vrouwelijke poëten in het vroegmoderne India die zich door hun unieke gebruik van Sanskriet duidelijk onderscheidden van hun mannelijke collega’s, via Japanse naar Chinese auteurs wier autobiografisch werk een geheel nieuwe trend zette in de 20ste en 21ste eeuwse Chinese literatuur.
