Saito's new understanding of the role of \"\u003ci\u003ekanbunmyaku\u003c\/i\u003e\" in the formation of Japanese literary modernity challenges dominant narratives tied to translations from modern Western literatures and problematizes the antagonism between Literary Sinitic and Japanese in the modern academy. Saito shows how \u003ci\u003ekundoku\u003c\/i\u003e (vernacular reading) and its rhythms were central to the rise of new inscriptional styles, charts the changing relationship of modern poets and novelists to \u003ci\u003ekanbunmyaku\u003c\/i\u003e, and concludes that the chronotope of modern Japan was based in a language world supported by the Literary Sinitic Context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSaito Mareshi\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor at the University of Tokyo.
