Abstract

Abstract:The large corpus of travel writing about Meiji Japan by Europeans and North Americans varies widely in focus, structure, and source. This article compares the travelogue Japan Day by Day (1917) with the text on which it is said to be based—the journal in which the author E. S. Morse recorded his three visits to Japan in the 1870s and 1880s. By analyzing Morse's editing in the 1910s, this article shows how his authorial voice sought to accommodate the historical, social, and personal changes that had occurred since his travels in the late nineteenth century.

莫尔斯的自我塑造:日本国的比较及其主要来源

摘要:欧洲人和北美人撰写的大量明治日本游记，在主题、结构和来源等方面存在很大差异。本文将《逐日日本》(1917)与据传其所依据的文本(作者E. S. Morse记录他在19世纪70年代和80年代三次访问日本的日志)进行比较。通过分析莫尔斯在20世纪10年代的编辑，本文展示了他的作者的声音是如何适应自19世纪末旅行以来发生的历史、社会和个人变化的。

期刊介绍： Monumenta Nipponica was founded in 1938 by Sophia University, Tokyo, to provide a common platform for scholars throughout the world to present their research on Japanese culture, history, literature, and society. One of the oldest and most highly regarded English-language journals in the Asian studies field, it is known not only for articles of original scholarship and timely book reviews, but also for authoritative translations of a wide range of Japanese historical and literary sources. Previously published four times a year, since 2008 the journal has appeared semiannually, in May and November.
