When Emperor Meiji began his rule, in 1867, Japan was a splintered empire, dominated by the shogun and the daimyos, who ruled over the country's more than 250 decentralized domains and who were, in the main, cut off from the outside world, staunchly antiforeign, and committed to the traditions of the past.

When Emperor Meiji began his rule, in 1867, Japan was a splintered empire, dominated by the shogun and the daimyos, who ruled over the country's more than 250 decentralized domains and who were, in the main, cut off from the outside world, staunchly antiforeign, and committed to the traditions of the past. Before long, the shogun surrendered to the emperor, a new constitution was adopted, and Japan emerged as a modern, industrialized state. Despite the length of his reign, little has been written about the strangely obscured figure of Meiji himself, the first emperor ever to meet a European. Most historians discuss the period that takes his name while barely mentioning the man, assuming that he had no real involvement in affairs of state. Even Japanese who believe Meiji to have been their nation's greatest ruler may have trouble recalling a single personal accomplishment that might account for such a glorious reputation. Renowned Japan scholar Donald Keene sifts the available evidence to present a rich portrait not only of Meiji but also of rapid and sometimes violent change during this pivotal period in Japan's history. In this vivid and engrossing biography, we move with the emperor through his early, traditional education; join in the formal processions that acquainted the young emperor with his country and its people; observe his behavior in court, his marriage, and his relationships with various consorts; and follow his maturation into a "Confucian" sovereign dedicated to simplicity, frugality, and hard work. Later, during Japan's wars with China and Russia, we witness Meiji's struggle to reconcile his personal commitment to peace and his nation's increasingly militarized experience of modernization. Emperor of Japan conveys in sparkling prose the complexity of the man and offers an unrivaled portrait of Japan in a period of unique interest.

读《明治天皇》的一点感受
本书对了解明治天皇及其时代可能用处不大
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
一直很感兴趣两个问题:日本何以成功促成明治维新(相比之下中国却失败了),以及明治天皇在各项改革、对外战争决策中到底扮演了什么角色?本书虽然皇皇巨著,披露了很多细节,却远没有满足我的预期。 首先,本书在描绘明治天皇个人方面有很大局限。 作者一开始就提出,因为明... (展开)明治天皇:一个感性少年的成长史

萧西之水/文 作为1867年至1912年之间的日本天皇,明治天皇睦仁与日本共同经历了近代史上最大规模的改革运动——明治维新,他本人也被塑造为不世出的“睦仁大帝”,死后也专门修建一座明治神宫也加以祭奠。一些宣传都表达着一个观点:日本“万世一系”的天皇乃“神圣不可侵犯”... (展开)《明治天皇》:日本现代化的人和事
时代的标记,而非象征
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
明治维新,历史课本的一笔带过让那数十年的光阴显得乏善可陈。但是对于中国人而言,这种冷漠显得有些自欺欺人,似乎日本从一个几乎与中国同时代被迫打开大门的国家,一跃而成为凌驾于国人认知的“列强”之一,不过一段维新岁月的侥幸而已。 唐纳德·基恩是怎么想的呢?他在行文... (展开)> 更多书评 34篇

与其说是明治的传记,不过说是他统治期间以前幕末的历史,虽然作者在用词等方面不够友好,很多日语都没有标注意思,人物的生卒年份标注也不够统一,但总体来说比很多明治维新的书要来得完整。全书以政治为主,在经济文化上的介绍篇幅较少。
