This annotated bibliography of doctoral dissertations on Japan and Korea grew out of a decision to expand and bring up to date an earlier list entitled Unpublished Doctoral Dissertations Relating to Japan, Accepted in the Universities of Australia, Canada, Great Britain, and the United States, 19461963 , compiled by Peter Cornwall and issued by the Center for Japanese Studies in 1965. Like its predecessor, the present work is primarily intended to make more accessible, hence more useful, an impressive number of scholarly studies in the form of dissertations which by and large remain unpublished. An up-to-date inventory of doctoral dissertations, this book should be a valuable aid to students, teachers, librarians, and others who seek to trace through the scholarship of dissertations a bibliographic panorama of Japanese and Korean studies in Western languages.
Many institutions and individuals have generously contributed to its compilation, but Mr. Frank J. Shulman deserves full credit for the comprehensive search for dissertation titles, the planning and organization of the bibliography, and the writing of most and the editing of all the entries. As a specialist in library science as well as in East Asian history, Mr. Shulman has applied a distinctive combination of knowledge and skill to the exacting work of compilation. His desire to enhance its usefulness for teachers and students led him to expand the information conventionally furnished in an annotated bibliography to include related publications based on the authors dissertation. This unique feature greatly augments its value as an aid to research.
The work affords, both to Westerners and to Japanese and Korean scholars, a view of the main topics and research interests which have been pursued in Western universities over the past nine decades. By the same token, it will also serve to identify neglected themes and furnish guides for the direction of future research efforts. The inclusion of the original dissertations in addition to derivative publications adds immeasurably to the value of the bibliography as a research aid and provides an important measure of the extent and variety of Japanese and Korean studies in Western universities. The book is, in other words, both a general bibliographic reference tool and an instrument for the guidance of future research.
Prepared for the Center for Japanese Studies, this bibliography is the first in a projected series of bibliographies of Western-language works on special aspects of the study of Japan. It complements the Centers Bibliographical Series which list and evaluate major Japanese-language works pertaining to the humanities and social sciences. The Center wishes to express appreciation to the Social Science Research Council-American Council of Learned Societies Joint Committee on Japanese Studies and the Joint Committee on Korean Studies for financial assistance in preparing this publication.
