Meiji at 150

Prof. Peter Kornicki (University of Cambridge) Kornicki, Peter; Grunow, Tristan

Description

In this episode, Prof. Kornicki challenges the narrative of the Meiji period as revolutionary, instead underlining continuities in literary tastes, practices, and writing through the 1880s. We discuss the origins, meaning of, and alternatives to the term “Restoration,” literary transitions in the mid-Meiji Period, and popular discontentment and protest.
