The Suzuki contribution to the anglophone press of interwar Japan

Judith Snodgrass

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

Abstract

My aim is to situate Suzuki’s English writings in the geopolitical context from which they emerged, considering the extent to which the historical contingencies of this period shaped the work and facilitated the continuation of his lifelong mission of promoting the understanding and appreciation of Japanese Mahayana Buddhism in the West. My intention is not in any way to detract from his achievements, but rather to contribute to a more rounded understanding of Daisetz Suzuki and his work, and one that enriches his legacy.
