Klappentext
This edited collection is composed of four uniquely authored chapters, each of which examines collective identity in early modern East Asia through biography and biographical account. In addition, an introductory chapter lays out the overall principles and concerns of biography in Early Modern East Asia.
The book covers five civilizations (China, Japan, Ry¿ky¿ Kingdom, and Vietnam) while also touching on relations among these civilizations. This volume considers how biographies or life stories can help us better understand these civilizations. Each contributor explores shared concerns about biography, writing, group and individual identity, and the implications of these on the overall genre of biography in East Asia in the early modern period.
