Marius Berthus Jansen was Emeritus Professor of Japanese History at Princeton University. Jansen graduated from Princeton in 1943, having majored in European history of the Renaissance and Reformation. After serving in the United States Army, during which time he studied Japanese and working in the Occupation of Japan, Jansen returned to the United States and completed his PhD in history at Harvard in 1950, studying Japan with Edwin O. Reischauer and China with John K. Fairbank. Jansen began his teaching career at the University of Washington in 1950 and moved to Princeton in 1959 as professor in the departments of history and Oriental studies, where he taught until his retirement in 1992.
Like the others in the series, this is a collection of essays by various noted historians. This particular volume is edited by, and contains two essays by Marius Jansen- whose skill and even-handedness is evident throughout.
I have no particular complaints about it- however, if the list price was not clue enough, this is not intended for the casual reader. It presumes at least a cursory knowledge of Japan, and would probably be very difficult if you are totally new to the topic. That said, if you want to study the nation seriously, this is for you.
Apa yg saya katakan? Buku ini mengenai sejarah Jepang, terdiri dari 6 volume dan saya baru menyelesaikan sebagian, dimulai dari belakang karena saya ingin mengetahui sejarah Jepang pasca Perang Dunia ke-2. Dibanding beberapa buku sejarah yg pernah saya baca, koleksi buku ini lumayan lengkap dan tidak melulu membahas tentang sejarah Jepang dan kejadian2 yg ada, tapi juga pergerakan intelektual yg ada. So far, it does help me to understand Japan more.
