| Summary: |
"Bringing together leading Anglophone and Japanese scholars in three landmark volumes, The New Cambridge History of Japan offers an expansive vision of the archipelago's history from c. 500 to the twenty-first century. With an emphasis on the porousness of Japan's boundaries, it embraces a more global perspective than that of the original Cambridge History, published a generation ago. Its analyses of gender, the environment, and urban life enrich our understanding of political, social, and cultural history. Volume I, Premodern Japan in East Asia, traces the archipelago's history from c. 500 to the late sixteenth century. Volume II, Early Modern Japan in Asia and the World, carries the narrative into the late nineteenth century. The third volume, The Modern Japanese Nation and Empire, brings the story into the twenty-first century. The essays throughout are written in accessible, authoritative prose for a diverse global audience ranging from specialists to students and all those interested in Japan's rich history"--Publisher's description. |
