"The late seventeenth century was a time of peace in Japan, and consequently, schools
and culture flourished even for non-elites. Although publishing for vernacular-only
(i.e., not literary Sinitic) readers was big business, both Japanese and Western scholarship
has largely ignored these books, concentrating instead on a narrative of the development
of the novel in the seventeenth century, culminating in the writings of Ihara Saikaku
(1642-1693). In Pleasure in Profit, Laura Moretti studies lowbrow seventeenth-century
literature on its own terms, and in doing so, not only presents a much more accurate
picture of prose at this time but also contributes to our understanding of Japanese
non-elites--for instance, how key principles of Buddhism and Confucianism spread to
the populace--and comparative popular culture, showing that this literature was no
different from the French bibliothèque bleue, British chapbooks, or the Russian literature
of lubok"
