    8. Choose a representative poet from either the Kokinshū or the Shinkokinshū and, using examples, discuss his/her poetry in terms of theme, technique and tone. How does his/her poetry reflect the poetics and spirit (i.e. Japanese world-view, customs, politics etc.) of his/her time?

    11. Ivan Morris says the following of the protagonist in Saikaku’s The Life of an Amorous Woman (Koshoku Ichidai Onna):
                 
    "The protagonist of The Life of an Amorous Woman is, in blunt terms, a nymphomaniac and the book describes the steady degradation that results from her efforts to find a constant variety of sexual enjoyment, while at the same time surviving economically as a single woman in a harsh feudal society."
    Is this fair comment?
    12. Who were the après guerre writers and what are some of the characteristics of their works? Discuss with examples from a number of novelists’ works or by focusing on the works of one novelist.
