`Selected and edited with an introduction by John Erskine. "These lectures were delivered to Japanese students, and Hearn's purpose was not only to impart the information about Western literature usually to be found in our histories and text-books, but much more to explain to the Oriental mind those peculiarities of our civilization which might be hard to understand on the further side of the Pacific Ocean. The lectures are therefore unique, in that they are the first large attempt by a Western critic to interpret us to the East." Pp.xx/328, toning to pages. Blue cloth, gilt title to spine. G+.

Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) was an author of Greek-Irish descent who lived in Greece, Ireland, and the United States (Cincinnati and New Orleans) before moving to Japan. In Japan, he received the legal name, Koizumi Yakumo, and became a professor at different universities while continuing his writing. John Erskine (1879-1951) was an American author, educator, pianist, and composer. He taught as a professor at Amhearst College and Columbia University. In this book, Erskine selected and edited Hearn's lectures and also wrote the Introduction. Excerpt from Introduction: "These chapters, for the most part, are reprinted from Lafcadio Hearn's 'Interpretations of Literature,' 1915, from his 'Life and Literature,' 1916, and from his 'Appreciations of Poetry,' 1917. Three chapters appear here for the first time. They are all taken from the student notes of Hearn's lectures at the University of Tokyo, 1896-1902, sufficiently described in the earlier volumes just mentioned. . It should be remembered that these lectures were delivered to Japanese students . The lectures are therefore unique, in that they are the first large attempt by a Western critic to interpret us [Westerners] to the East." The following are the titles of some of Hearn's lectures in this book: "On Love in English Poetry," "The Ideal Womean in English Poetry," "Some Foreign Poems on Japanese Subjects," "The New Ethics," "Some Poems About Insects," "Note on the Influence of Finnish Poetry in English Literature," and "Old Greek Fragments."
