Course descriptionThe course aims to provide students with a historical, cultural and theoretical background to the study of Japanese literature since 1900, and to build upon their general reading skills in Japanese so that they can apply them to the critical reading of Japanese literary texts. Class work will include sessions focussing on the works of selected authors who are recognised as representative of Japanese literature in the modern period and consideration of issues relating to the reception of modern Japanese literature by non-native (particularly anglophone) readers.

All students will be given a formative feedback exercise that will be helpful for the assessment for this course and students' general academic development.
