English. Its range is from the Archaic period (before A.D. 700) until the so called Tokio period in the second half of the nineteenth century and covers all lyrics, poetry, prose and children's stories. <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.88em;"> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:William_George_Aston_1911.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="William George Aston"><img alt="William George Aston" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b7/William_George_Aston_1911.jpg/100px-William_George_Aston_1911.jpg" decoding="async" width="100" height="148" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b7/William_George_Aston_1911.jpg/150px-William_George_Aston_1911.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b7/William_George_Aston_1911.jpg/200px-William_George_Aston_1911.jpg 2x" data-file-width="338" data-file-height="500" /></a><figcaption>William George Aston</figcaption></figure> <p>The Japanese have a voluminous literature, extending over twelve centuries, which to this day has been very imperfectly explored by European students. Forty years ago no Englishman had read a page of a Japanese book, and although some Continental scholars had a useful acquaintance with the language, their contributions to our knowledge are unimportant. Much has been done in the interval, by writers of grammars and dictionaries, to facilitate the acquirement of this most difficult language, and translations by Sir E. Satow, Messrs. Mitford, Chamberlain, Dickins, and others, have given us interesting glimpses of certain phases of the literature. But the wider field has hitherto remained untouched. Beyond a few brief detached notices, there is no body of critical opinion on Japanese books in any European language, and although the Japanese themselves have done more in this direction, <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r9031029">.mw-parser-output .nowrap,.mw-parser-output .nowrap a:before,.mw-parser-output .nowrap .selflink:before{white-space:nowrap}</style><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r9031029"><span class="nowrap">. . .</span> </p> </div> <dl><dd>(<b><a href="/wiki/A_History_of_Japanese_Literature" title="A History of Japanese Literature">Read on...</a></b>)</dd></dl> <p>or see <a href="/wiki/Category:Featured_texts" title="Category:Featured texts">all featured texts</a>. </p> </td></tr></tbody></table> </div> <div style="float: right; width: 50%;"> <table class="plainlinks" style="width: 100%; background-color: transparent;"> <tbody><tr> <td style="border: 1px solid #cedff2; padding: 1em; font-size: 100%;"> <div style="font-size: 135%; background-color: #569BBB; color: White; margin-bottom: 3px; text-align: center; line-height: 1.3em;">New texts</div> <b><i><a href="/wiki/Heliogabalus_(A_Buffoonery_in_Three_Acts)" title="Heliogabalus (A Buffoonery in Three Acts)">Heliogabalus (A Buffoonery in Three Acts)</a></i></b> (1920)<div style="margin-left:1em" class="creators"><small>by <a href="/wiki/Author:Henry_Louis_Mencken" title="Author:Henry Louis Mencken">Henry Louis Mencken</a> and <a href="/wiki/Author:George_Jean_Nathan" title="Author:George Jean Nathan">George Jean Nathan</a></small></div> <b><i><a href="/wiki/The_North_American_Review/Volume_158/Number_448/Latest_Aspects_of_the_Brazilian_Rebellion" title="The North American Review/Volume 158/Number 448/Latest Aspects of the Brazilian Rebellion">Latest Aspects of the Brazilian Rebellion</a></i></b> (1894)<div style="margin-left:1em" class="creators"><small>by <a href="/wiki/Author:Salvador_de_Mendon%C3%A7a" title="Author:Salvador de Mendonça">Salvador de Mendonça</a></small></div> <b><i><a href="/wiki/Adobe_Days" title="Adobe Days">Adobe Days</a></i></b> (1926)<div style="margin-left:1em" class="creators"><small>by <a href="/wiki/Author:Sarah_Bixby_Smith" title="Author:Sarah Bixby Smith">Sarah Bixby Smith</a></small></div> <b><i><a href="/wiki/The_Lonesomest_Doll_(1928)" title="The Lonesomest Doll (1928)">The Lonesomest Doll</a></i></b> (1928)<div style="margin-left:1em" class="creators"><small>by <a href="/wiki/Author:Abbie_Farwell_Brown" title="Author:Abbie Farwell Brown">Abbie Farwell Brown</a></small><small>, illustrated by <a href="/wiki/Author:Arthur_Rackham" title="Author:Arthur Rackham">Arthur Rackham</a></small></div> <b><i><a href="/wiki/Tales_from_a_Rolltop_Desk" title="Tales from a Rolltop Desk">Tales from a Rolltop Desk</a></i></b> (1921)<div style="margin-left:1em" class="creators"><small>by <a href="/wiki/Author:Christopher_Morley" class="mw-redirect" title="Author:Christopher Morley">Christopher Morley</a></small></div> <b><i><a href="/wiki/Law_Reform_(Personal_Injuries)_Act_1948" title="Law Reform (Personal Injuries) Act 1948">Law Reform (Personal Injuries) Act 1948</a></i></b> (1948)<div style="margin-left:1em" class="creators"><small>by <a href="/wiki/Portal:Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Portal:Parliament of the United Kingdom">Parliament of the United Kingdom</a></small></div> <b><i><a href="/wiki/Japan:_Past_and_Present" title="Japan: Past and Present">Japan: Past and Present</a></i></b> (1946)<div style="margin-left:1em" class="creators"><small>by <a href="/wiki/Author:Edwin_Oldfather_Reischauer" title="Author:Edwin Oldfather Reischauer">Edwin Oldfather Reischauer</a></small></div> <b><i><a href="/wiki/The_Fresno_Republican/Vol._50/Issue_72/Aerial_Transportation" title="The Fresno Republican/Vol. 50/Issue 72/Aerial Transportation">Aerial Transportation</a></i></b> (1916)<div style="margin-left:1em" class="creators"><small>by <a href="/wiki/Author:Alberto_Santos-Dumont" title="Author:Alberto Santos-Dumont">Alberto Santos-Dumont</a></small></div> </td></tr></tbody></table> <div style="float: right; width: 100%;"> <table class="plainlinks" style="width: 100%; background-color: transparent;"> <tbody><tr> <td style="border: 1px solid #cedff2; padding: 1em; font-size: 100%;"> <div style="font-size: 135%; background-color: #569BBB; color: White; margin-bottom: 3px; text-align: center; line-height: 1.3em;">Collaboration</div> <table> <tbody><tr> <td style="vertical-align:middle; text-align:center">The <b><a href="/wiki/Wikisource:Community_collaboration/Monthly_Challenge/November_2024" title="Wikisource:Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/November 2024">Monthly Challenge</a></b> for November contains 66 works.
