Extrait: ...she will leave it somewhere before she goes upstaire. Matsuba San, I found a key upon the table. My hereditary curiousity was vivified at once. I ventured to imagine that the key might open one of those cases wherein I should not fail to discover the most wonderful book of the world. Did I apply it? Why, didn't I, Pine Leaf? What did I find in the case? "History of the Stuart-Dodge Family." I was so glad to have my chance of exploring Mr. Stuart-Dodge's black cap of Dr. Oya, ma, what? It was merely a colonel's. Poor Colonel Stuart-Dodge! LETTER XII. 31st. Look at Miss Cissy poking her nose into the flowers of the drawing room every morning! What would our dear poet Kenko say if he saw her? Didn't he satirize a girl at gaze with the cherry blossoms close beside her? Certainly admiration from a distance is higher. Miss Cissy's nose, however, is lovely, is it not? I will not try to defend myself if someone says that Morning Glory could not stand Amerikey, because she was awfully jealous of her pretty girls, and so left for England. (My beloved Matsuba, I will begin my new voyage pretty soon in fact.) Meriken girls could be perfect, I should say, if they were a bit more regulated in their proportions. Look At M1ss C1ssy Pok1ng Her Nose 1nto Thi Flowers Of The Drawing Room Every Morn1ng Voila! (Doesn't it fit in her?--although I never know its meaning. Theresa often exclaims it.) Aren't their honorable "below the waists" too improper in size? Dick set three azalea plants in the drawing room, carrying them out from the green-house. The sight of them revived in my mind a song that my maid used to sing: "Satemo migotona Odawara tsutsuzi! Motowa, Hakoneno yamasodachi." (What a lovely Odawara...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian American Literature: An Encyclopedia for Students is an invaluable resource for students curious to know more about Asian North American writers, texts, and the issues and drives that motivate their writing. This volume collects, in one place, a breadth of information about Asian American literary and cultural history as well as the authors and texts that best define it. A dozen contextual essays introduce fundamental elements or subcategories of Asian American literature, expanding on social and literary concerns or tensions that are familiar and relevant. Essays include the origins and development of the term "Asian American"; overviews of Asian American and Asian Canadian social and literary histories; essays on Asian American identity, gender issues, and sexuality; and discussions of Asian American rhetoric and children's literature. More than 120 alphabetical entries round out the volume and cover important Asian North American authors. Historical information is presented in clear and engaging ways, and author entries emphasize biographical or textual details that are significant to contemporary young adults. Special attention has been given to pioneering authors from the late 19th century through the early 1970s and to influential or well-known contemporary authors, especially those likely to be studied in high school or university classrooms.

Download or read book The American Diary of a Japanese Girl written by Yone Noguchi and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-15 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first American novel by a writer of Japanese ancestry, The American Diary of a Japanese Girl is a landmark of modern American fiction and Japanese American transnationalism. First published in 1902, Yone Noguchi's novel describes the turn-of-the-century adventures of Tokyo belle Miss Morning Glory in a first-person narrative that The New York Times called "perfectly ingenuous and unconventional." Initially published as an authentic journal, the Diary was later revealed to be a playful autobiographical fiction written by a man. No less than her creator, Miss Morning Glory delights in disguises, unabashedly switching gender, class, and ethnic roles. Targeting the American fantasy of Madame Butterfly, Noguchi's New Woman heroine prays for "something more decent than a marriage offer," and freely dispenses her insights on Japanese culture and American lifestyles. With the addition of perceptive critical commentary and comprehensive notes, this first annotated edition sheds new light on the creative inventiveness of an important modernist writer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though Asian American literature is enjoying an impressive critical popularity, attention has focused primarily on longer narrative forms such as the novel. And despite the proliferation of a large number of poets of Asian descent in the 20th century, Asian American poetry remains a neglected area of study. Poetry as an elite genre has not reached the level of popularity of the novel or short story, partly due to the difficulties of reading and interpreting poetic texts. The lack of criticism on Asian American poetry speaks to the urgent need for scholarship in this area, since perhaps more than any other genre, poetry most forcefully captures the intense feelings and emotions that Asian Americans have experienced about themselves and their world. This reference book overviews the tremendous cultural contributions of Asian American poets. Included are alphabetically arranged entries on 48 American poets of Asian descent, most of whom have been active during the latter half of the 20th century. Each entry begins with a short biography, which sometimes includes information drawn from personal interviews. The entries then discuss the poet's major works and themes, including such concerns as family, racism, sexism, identity, language, and politics. A survey of the poet's critical reception follows. In many cases the existing criticism is scant, and the entries offer new readings of neglected works. The entries conclude with bibliographies of primary and secondary texts, and the volume closes with a selected, general bibliography.

This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 1037 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moby-Dick's Ishmael and Queequeg share a bed, Janie in Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God imagines her tongue in another woman's mouth. And yet for too long there has not been a volume that provides an account of the breadth and depth of queer American literature. This landmark volume provides the first expansive history of this literature from its inception to the present day, offering a narrative of how American literary studies and sexuality studies became deeply entwined and what they can teach each other. It examines how American literature produces and is in turn woven out of sexualities, gender pluralities, trans-ness, erotic subjectivities, and alternative ways of inhabiting bodily morphology. In so doing, the volume aims to do nothing less than revise the ways in which we understand the whole of American literature. It will be an indispensable resource for scholars, graduate students, and undergraduates.
