The Cambridge history of Japan is a multi-volume survey of Japanese history published by Cambridge University Press. This was the first major collaborative synthesis presenting the current state of knowledge of Japanese history.[1] The series aims to present as full a view of Japanese history as possible.[2] The collaborative work brings together the writing of Japanese specialists and historians of Japan.[1]
History
Plans for the project were initiated in the 1970s; and the first of the volumes was published in 1988.
The general editor, John Whitney Hall, was expressly focused on the task of identifying arrays of relationships in Japanese history -- such as, for example, between the chronology of military exploits in the 16th century and an account of consequences which developed over time.[3]
The several volumes include:
- Vol. 1. Ancient Japan, edited by Delmer Brown (1993)[4]
- Vol. 2. Heian Japan, edited by Donald Shively and William H. McCullough (1999)[5]
- Vol. 3. Medieval Japan, edited by Kozo Yamamura (1990)[6]
- Vol. 4. Early modern Japan, edited by John Whitney Hall and James McClain (1991)[7]
- Vol. 5. The Nineteenth Century, edited by Marius Jansen (1989)[8]
- Vol. 6. The Twentieth Century, edited by Peter Duus (1988)[9]
