In that respect, Profes- sor Nafziger has brought together in a readable form issues of contemporary theory and Japanese economic history that many other writers have kept separate, and as such the book should be welcomed. This is, after all, not an attempt to write economic history. Apart from its deficiencies in knowledge of Japan, however, the book has other weaknesses: a reliance on the unprovable counterfactual i.
an assumption that, if something had, or had not, happened, the situation would have been much better - or worse ; judgements unerringly and cate- gorically stated with often unsubstantiated conviction; a rambling style that results in a rather disjointed mixture of basic development economics, Japanese economic history and LDC policy, as well as sentences which are little more than long lists e.
the twelve-line sentence at the bottom of p. Nor is any potential theoretical framework for addressing this problem, such as the new institutional economics, suggested. Downloaded by [University of Arizona] at 14 May It is not easy to know the audience for which this book has been written - its material ranges from the elementary to the complex, its approach from the detailed to the simplistic.
Its judgements are made with an enviable certainty which makes problems apparent and solutions obvious. Parts of it may be useful in elementary teaching, but not in courses where Japan is a major focus. Professor Nafziger should be applauded for his attempt to address what has long been recognised as an impor- tant topic, but it will be for a future writer to bridge the accessibility of the present volume with the analytical weight of previous works.
Janet Hunter London School of Economics and Political Science Helen Craig McCullough, trans. Genji and Heike: Selections from the Tale of Genji and the Tale of Heike. In a footnote to Classical Japanese Prose: An Anthology Stanford,McCullough notes that limi- tations of space cause her to omit from that selection the 'two long masterpieces of the age, The Tale of Genji and The Tale of the Heike'. These 'deserve to be read in their entirety' and are in any case 'readily available in paperback English translations'.
Something appears to have changed her mind. The work under review, selections from both works, declares itself to be a companion volume to the said anthology, intended for 'students and others who may lack the time to read' the two works 'in their entirety'. The hard-up enthusiast may well be pleased to buy only one paperback instead of two, but, financial considerations aside, what is gained stanford university press free download pdf choosing this book? At first glance it seems to be no more than the particular selection which might otherwise be indicated by a simple list of page and line numbersan introduction to each work, and passages of TTte Tale of Genji newly translated by McCullough.
This last promises to be most interesting. The Tale of Genji poses for- midable problems to the translator, and McCullough is a translator of great experience, stanford university press free download pdf.
McCullough provides an introduction to The Tale of Genji which is likely to prove useful to its intended audience. After a short discussion of the problematic nature of names in the Heian court, there is an outline of Murasaki Shikibu's life and times, noting her class and personal details and describing the literary salons of her day. The Tale of Genji itself is described and outlined so as to fill in gaps resulting from the selection.
McCullough refers to some of the major scholarly discussions of the work in English, of Shirane, Field, Okada, Konishi and Bowring. One begins to wonder, however, whether her study has made her sufficiently alert to the dangers of naturalising her subject when she describes Murasaki Shikibu 'reading romances' and deciding to 'try her hand at fiction'.
The selection itself may be compared with Seidensticker's abridgement. He hopes to 'get as far along with the story as possible, while keeping the selection to a manageable length'.
The result is that he chooses eleven of the first fourteen chapters and appends the seventeenth. McCuUough, on the other hand, covers Genji's life from birth to exile, political power to renunciation, stanford university press free download pdf, that is over forty chapters, by selecting only ten. This inevitably ends up being somewhat thin; the inclusion of the important 'Broom tree' chapter with the late-night discussion of womenomitted by Seiden- sticker, is to be welcomed, stanford university press free download pdf, but the loss of other early chapters prevents the reader from seeing Genji's obsessive and self-destructive nature in action.
The omission of the Picture Contest also obscures the important linkage between aesthetic taste, sexual manoeuvring and political power.
It is a pity that McCuUough has nothing to say concerning her approach to translating The Tale of Genji and especially how she sites herself in regard to Seidensticker and Waley.
Ready compre- hensibility appears to have been an important consideration. Thus 'Sauzu yo no tsunenaki ohon monogatari nochi no yo no koto nado kikoe shirase tamafu' is rendered: 'The bishop told edifying stories stanford university press free download pdf the ephemerality of worldly things, discoursed instructively on the life to come and so forth', no doubt to fill things out for her busy readers Seidensticker has: 'The bishop talked Downloaded by [University of Arizona] at 14 May of this ephemeral world and of the world to come.
Waley has been criticised for the appearance of desks and drawers, divans and couches in his version. Odd naturalisations are bound to be found in some areas and are not necessarily a bad thing. In Seidensticker, bishops pray in cells, and McCuUough provides them with disciples. What is worry- ing, though, is the combination of McCuUough's tendency towards explicitness and a certain insen- sitivity to tone.
In the 'Young Murasaki' chapter, in which Genji appropriates the immature child of Prince Hyobu, McCuUough's free use of such phrases as 'consolation day and night', 'libertine', 'gallant', 'treat as a wife', 'lecher', 'seduce', 'pervert', 'lying down and getting up with' subtly distort the account. The hard-pressed reader could easily go away with the impression that the girl's nurse was anxious to guard her from a psychologically damaging experience, and that Genji feared society at large would consider him a child-abuser.
In areas prone to be coloured by concepts specific to our times more stanford university press free download pdf is required. McCullough's rendering is very readable, it is true. It is freer than Seidensticker's of archaisms, and flows more easily, avoiding his rather lapidary and elegant brevity.
But if a fear of difficulty causes works to be naturalised to the degree that their fundamental differ- ence is lost, there seems little point in translating foreign literatures. Turning to the introduction to selections from The Tale of the Heike, we find that it is virtually identical to that with which McCuUough prefaced her complete translation of Thus there is no explanation of her selection, which is drastic, removing more than two-thirds of the former version.
Several well-known passages remain. Sadly, the very interesting essay on the Heike as stanford university press free download pdf ture, that was appended to the complete translation, is omitted. The translation itself has been thoroughly revised and is a great improvement, stanford university press free download pdf much so that one wonders whether a complete revision is not called for. An example: 'High and low in the city praised her to the skies.
For The Tale of Genji, however, let us stick to Seidensticker. Pinnington University of Cambridge Dallas Finn, Meiji Revisited: The Sites of Victorian Japan.
