Building significantly on previous research, which has treated the intersections of Christianity with the Japanese literary world in only a cursory fashion, this book emphasizes the need to make a clear distinction between the different roles played by Catholicism and Protestantism. In particular, it argues that most Meiji and Taish? intellectuals were exposed to an exclusively Protestant and mainly Calvinist derivation of Christianity and so it is against this worldview that the connections between the two ought to be assessed. Examining the work of authors such as Kitamura T?koku, Akutagawa Ry?nosuke and Nagayo Yoshir?, this book also contextualises the spread of Christianity in Japan and challenges the notion that Christian thought was in conflict with mainstream literary schools. As such, this book explains how the dualities experienced by many modern writers were in fact the manifestation of manifold developments which placed Christianity at the center, rather than at the periphery, of their process of self-construction. The Dilemma of Faith in Modern Japanese Literature will be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese modern literature, as well as those interested in Religious Studies and Japanese Studies more generally."--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aNissan Institute/Routledge Japanese studies series. 606 $aJapanese literature$xChristian authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJapanese literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJapanese literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChristianity and literature$zJapan 606 $aChristianity in literature 615 0$aJapanese literature$xChristian authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJapanese literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJapanese literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChristianity and literature 615 0$aChristianity in literature. 676 $a895.609/3823 700 $aTomasi$b Massimiliano$01477224 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795198003321 996 $aThe Dilemma of Faith in Modern Japanese Literature$93692316 997 $aUNINA
