By David J Gundry and David J. Gundry

The first monograph published in English on Ihara Saikaku's fiction, Gundry's lucid, compelling study examines works by Edo-period Japan's leading writer of 'floating world' literature both in their local context and as part of transnational trends in early bourgeois narrative.
