Bringing the celebrated Clark Library Saturday seminars to a wider audience, Stuart and Georgian Moments gathers twelve crisp, field-defining essays that map the literary, musical, and cultural horizons of the long seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Edited by Earl Miner, the volume showcases a who’s-who of scholarship—James Sutherland on Restoration prose, Don Cameron Allen on Milton’s Latin, Bertrand H. Bronson on music and literature, Herbert Davis and Maximillian E. Novak on Swift and Defoe’s ironies, H. T. Swedenberg, Jr., and Charles E. Ward on the perennial challenges of editing and narrating Dryden, along with studies of Puritan culture (Leon Howard) and women’s epistolary practices (Irvin Ehrenpreis; Robert Halsband). Framed by Robert Vosper’s portrait of Lawrence Clark Powell and the Clark’s distinctive scholarly ecosystem, the collection captures the intellectual verve of UCLA’s 17th & 18th Centuries Studies Group and its interdisciplinary mandate.For scholars and advanced students of early modern and Enlightenment studies, this volume offers rare range with unusual coherence: it moves deftly between poetics and print culture, rhetoric and performance, textual criticism and intellectual history—always grounded in primary materials and editorial practice. Whether you’re teaching Dryden and Milton, tracing the traffic between poetry and music, or rethinking gendered authorship and the public sphere, Stuart and Georgian Moments delivers authoritative essays that remain eminently teachable, citable, and expandable—an indispensable companion to research, syllabus-building, and the ongoing work of re-reading the Stuart and Georgian eras across disciplines.This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1972.

Dryden's writings are studded with names, conspicuously those of his literary predecessors and contemporaries. He defined himself as a writer in relation to other writers, and in doing so was something of a pioneer professional man of letters: poet, playwright, critic, prose stylist, England's foremost verse translator, the first literary historian to provide a conception of periods, and what would now be termed a comparatist. This 1993 book looks at Dryden's literary relationships with Ben Jonson and with French authors (notably Corneille), at issues raised by the work thought to be his greatest by Romantic and contemporary readers, Fables Ancient and Modern; and at Samuel Johnson's definition of Dryden, whose biography in Johnson's Lives was the author's favourite. The book has implications for questions of literary reception, influence and intertextuality, as well as for the reputation and context of Dryden himself.

The description for this book, The Princeton Companion to Classical Japanese Literature, will be forthcoming.

In this third of five volumes tracing the history of Japanese literature through Mishima Yukio, Jin'ichi Konishi portrays the high medieval period. Here he continues to examine the influence of Chinese literature on Japanese writers, addressing in particular reactions to Sung ideas, Zen Buddhism, and the ideal of literary vocation, michi. This volume focuses on three areas in which Konishi has long made distinctive contributions: court poetry (waka), featuring twelfth-and thirteenth-century works, especially those of Fujiwara Teika (1162-1241); standard linked poetry (renga), from its inception to its full harvest in the work of Sogi (1421-1502); and the theatrical form noh, including the work of Zeami (ca. 1365-1443) and Komparu Zenchiku (1405-?). The author also considers prose narrative and popular song. Originally published in 1991.

The second of live volumes planned to give a systematic account of Japanese literature from its beginnings to the death of the modern novelist Mishima, this book establishes the character of the literature of the early Middle Ages, from the ninth to the mid-twelfth century.

This book, which covers the period from preliterate times to the beginning of the tenth century, is the first of five proposed volumes that will give an account of Japanese literature from its beginnings to the death of the modern novelist Mishima.

This collection of essays has been compiled in the hope of making scholars in the rest of the world more familiar with Japanese studies in English literature. By revealing to Western scholars the insights and criticisms of their Japanese colleagues they should help to expand the arena of intellectual discussion and improve its quality. The essays are the work of younger scholars from several leading Japanese universities. They range widely over English and American literature, stretching in time from Chaucer to T. S. Eliot, and in subject from the concept of "the royal" in Shakespeare to the involuntary memory as discovered by Coleridge. The writers have some uniquely Japanese perspectives, not of the hackneyed "East meets West" type, but insights stemming, the editor suggests, from these writers' experience of their own very rich literary tradition.
