In Search of the Ethos of the English Language by Takeshi Yamanaka

In Search of the Ethos of the English Language
A Festschrift in honor of Takeshi Yamanaka
edited by Hironori Hayase

The Editorial Committee of the Yamanaka Festschrift, 1997

SIGNED and inscribed by Yamanaka on the ffep: "To Dr. and Mrs. Lansdowne, in memory of our Christian fellowship, Takeshi Yamanaka / Sept. 10, 1997 / "Into something rich & strange" /Temp. I, ii, 469" (a quote from Shakespeare's The Tempest)

The book is alternately in English and Japanese; I do not believe sections are repeated/translated into the other language. There are articles on John Steinbeck, William Faulkner, Paradise Lost, Shakespeare, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Lafcadeio Hearn, and much more.

Condition: Hardcover; dust jacket has very minor apparent wear. Interior is clean and neat, binding is firm.
