History Of English Literature Legouis And Cazamian Pdf Download

[Virginie Fayad]

The best portions of this history are those in the second volume. There Kato contributes to the revaluation of Edo (immediately pre-modern) literature that has been going on recently in Japan and the United States.

Japan, England and the United States do not encompass the world. In recent years there has been a resurgence of large-scale literary histories in Germany. Most are written by multiple authorship, but some have been done by single counterparts of Kato, Keene and Konishi. Why Germany should have led the way is not wholly clear. Perhaps its distinguished historical legacy from the last century is involved, perhaps its peculiar legacy from World War Two. But there is another likely explanation: the presence of Marxist critics. It is often difficult to know what an American or a Briton means in professing to be a Marxist, but any just usage entails a view of history. Other Germans (and non-Germans) besides the Konstanz group have found the need to pose quasi-Marxist, historical problems and to give non-Marxist answers, conceding the centrality of history. And of course literary history is a major enterprise of academicians who think of themselves as belonging to a Socialist bloc. When a group of us visited China last summer, we found that a major present aim is to rewrite histories of English and other non-Chinese literatures in a way independent of Soviet models.
