From 1935 to 1945, the Japan Romantic School (Nihon Romanha), a group of major intellectuals and literary figures, explored issues concerning politics, literature, and nationalism in ways that still influence cultural discourse in Japan today. Kevin Doaks timely study is a broad critique of modernity in early twentieth-century Japan. He uses close readings and translations of texts and poems to suggest that the schools interest in romanticism stemmed from its attempt to surmount the cultural crisis of lost traditions. This attempt to overcome modernity eventually reduced the movements earlier critical impulses to expressions of nationalist longing.

Acknowledgments
So many people have helped me along the way that it is impossible to acknowledge them all. But special thanks must go first to Harry Harootunian, Tetsuo Najita, Norma Field, and Bill Sibley; without their encouragement and assistance this study would never have taken shape. Many colleagues at Wake Forest University have been generous with their support and critical suggestions, and I would particularly like to thank Michael L. Hughes, Phil Kuberski, Alan Williams, and Yuri Slezkine, now of U.C., Berkeley.
My debts on the other side of the Pacific are equally large, and I would like to acknowledge the help I received from Watanabe Kazutami, the late Maeda Ai, Ito Takashi, Tanisaki Akio, Oketani Hideaki, Romano Vulpitta, Yoshimura Chikai, Yanai Michihiro, Sugimoto Hidetaro, Nagai Jun'ichi, Eto Shigehiro, Aoki Toshio, and Kishi Masaki.
