Reviews:

"A reference work that is at once comprehensive, stimulating, and potentially useful to both a specialist and non-specialist readership. . . . I cannot imagine a scholar or student in the field of Japanese studies who will not be grateful to Earl Miner for creating the happy combination of talent, energy, and expertise in the Miner-Odagiri-Morrell team, which made the Companion happen."--Eleanor Kerkham, Monumenta Nipponica

"[The] Companion is superb. . . . It is one of the most important reference tools ever to have appeared in the field of Japanese studies and its writers have earned our gratitude as well as our admiration. . . . All this information, a whole library in a single volume, is--thanks to its original structure--extremely easy to use."--Donald Richie, The Japan Times


Earl Roy Miner (February 21, 1927 - April 17, 2004) was a professor at Princeton University, and a noted scholar of Japanese literature and especially Japanese poetry[1]; he was also active in early English literature (for instance, his New York Times obituary notes that a critical edition of John Milton's Paradise Lost was in the process of being published when he died). He earned his bachelor's degree in Japanese studies and master's and doctoral degrees in English from the University of Minnesota; with this Ph.D, he joined the English faculty at Williams College (1953 to 1955) and at UCLA (1955 to 1972), whereupon he joined Princeton in 1972.

Miner was President of the Milton Society of America, the American Society for 18th Century Studies and the International Comparative Literature Association. He was honored with Princeton's Behrman Award for distinguished achievement in the humanities in 1993.

In 1994, the Japanese government conferred the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon, which represents the third highest of eight classes associated with this award.

After a prolonged illness, Miner died in his home in Hightstown, New Jersey, on April 17, 2004.

  本书最初在1990年以英文形式出版,它反映了国际研究方面由于中国人的出场所引发的这些进展以及许多主题和许 多问题。首当其冲的一个问题是不可规避的:在形形色色的文化中,文学的性质究竟有些什么样的思想?或者换言之,那些主要的文学文化群落究竟如何建构其成体 系的文学观?通常的回答是显而易见的:即通过响应其社会的、哲学的和观念的语境中存在的文学实践。

Comparative Poetics:
An Intercultural Essay on Theories of Literature
Earl Roy Miner

Paper | 1990 | $32.95 / £22.95
259 pp.


"Comparative literature," Earl Miner writes, "clearly involves something more than comparing two great German poets, and something different from a Chinese studying French literature or a Russian studying Italian literature." But what would a true intercultural poetics be? This work proposes various ways to "study something other than what are, all things considered, the short and simple annals of one cultural parish at one historic moment."

The first developed account of theories of literature from an intercultural standpoint, the book shows that an "originative" or "foundational" poetics develops in cultures with explicit poetics when critics define the nature and conditions of literature in terms of the then most esteemed genredrama, lyric, or narrative. Earl Miner demonstrates that these definitions and inferences from them constitute useful bases for comparative poetics.

Review:

"Comparative Poetics is an important essay for our time and deserves to be read with reflection. . . Besides representing an elegant example of the comparatist's approach to the texts, its greatest value lies in Miner's understanding of what has, and should not define comparative studies as an academic discipline. In witty, readable prose, he uncovers the mimetic assumptions that have controlled the West's literary theory. . .Miner's study id provacative and brilliant."--Comparative Literary Studies
