Gundry's lucid, compelling study examines the tension reflected in key works by Edo-period Japan's leading writer of "floating world" literature between the official societal hierarchy dictated by the Tokugawa shogunate's hereditary status-group system and the era's de facto, fluid, wealth-based social hierarchy. The book's nuanced, theoretically engaged explorations of Saikaku's narratives' uses of irony and parody demonstrate how these often function to undermine their own narrator's intermittent moralizing. Gundry also analyzes these texts' depiction of the fleeting pleasures of love, sex, wealth and consumerism as Buddhistic object lessons in the illusory nature of phenomenal reality, the mastery of which leads to a sort of enlightenment. 600 10 $a Ihara, Saikaku, $d 1642-1693 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Ihara, Saikaku, $d 1642-1693. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00038721 650 0 $a Parody. 650 0 $a Irony in literature. 650 7 $a Irony in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979394 650 7 $a Parody. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01053849 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gundry, David J. author. $t Parody, irony and ideology in the fiction of Ihara Saikaku $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, 2017 $z 9789004344310 $w (DLC) 2017028875 830 0 $a Brill's Japanese studies library ; $v v. 58. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710110246.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F807CBCAFDAF11E7BCC604F996128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
