Book excerpt: The Russo-Japanese War, which began in 1904, marked a turning point between a "golden age" of war correspondence and a new era of censorship and military control of journalists. Novelist Jack London, one of the most popular writers in the world in 1904, enthusiastically accepted an offer from William Randolph Hearst to report on the war for the San Francisco Examiner, saying he went to Japan "expecting to get thrills." At first, he got them by sneaking into Korea and avoiding Japanese bureaucracy. After a few weeks, however, he was subjected to strict censorship and prevented from witnessing battles as often and as closely as he would have liked. The unexpected control of the news was a shock, leaving London bitter and frustrated, and predicting fundamental changes in the future role of war correspondents. London considered his work in Asia a failure, but there was little he could have done differently. This paper traces London's coverage of the war and his change in attitudes about combat journalism. Little scholarly work has been done on London's war correspondence, and none, as far as the author can determine, uses London's private war notebook and the regulations issued to foreign journalists by the Japanese First Army. Both of these, along with London's letters and dispatches to the Examiner, form the foundation of this paper's research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There are few people in the world who have more opportunity for getting close to the hot interesting things of one’s time than the special correspondent of a great paper,” George Lynch, a veteran British correspondent, wrote in Impressions of a War Correspondent, published in 1903. He made it all sound glorious, just the way war correspondents like to recount their experiences on the battlefield. But in a few months he had less to exult about. Lynch and a distinguished throng of foreign correspondents with high hopes of a good story assembled in Tokyo to cover the Russo-Japanese War—a monumental conflict that would mark the first modern defeat of a Western force by an Asian one—only to discover that the authorities would not let them “close to the hot interesting things.” Corralled in the Imperial Hotel, the journalists had nothing much to do except tell stories in the bar and write about local flora. A few of them, including Jack London and Richard Harding Davis, decided to contribute short autobiographical stories recounting their most exciting journalistic experiences for a book to be edited by Lynch and his American colleague, Frederick Palmer. The correspondents told their tales in different ways—prose, poems, sketches, and even a short play. Their stories recounted their routines, failures, and triumphs, including durviving battles and waiting to see action. One contributor imagines bewhiskered correspondents in 1950 still awaiting permission from Japan to go to the front—only to learn the war had been over for thirty-nine years. Printed locally by a Japanese printer and largely forgotten until now, In Many Wars, by Many War Correspondents offers colorful stories and insights about the lives and personalities of some of history’s most celebrated war correspondents. With a foreword by John Maxwell Hamilton that chronicles the circumstances under which the contributors compiled the book, this new edition opens a window into the fascinating world of foreign newsgathering at the turn of the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates the specific ways that ideologies of modern literature, nation, and self are articulated, contested, and negotiated in the war correspondence of Japan's Meiji period (1868-1912). Though we usually think of journalism and literature as separate spheres, the ideologies of modern literature, nation, and "the news" are intermixed. This is true the world over, but all the more true in the case of Japan. Newspapers and reportage first emerged and flourished in the Meiji period, just when fierce debates were raging over the relationship between literature and lived reality as well as over the "proper" form that a national Japanese literature should take. It was in this context that modern Japanese ideologies of national community, journalism, and literature became inextricably imbricated. The work of dispatched and embedded war correspondents provides a novel lens through which to examine this imbrication. The Meiji period was punctuated by military expeditions of successively increasing scale and intensity (the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the Taiwan Expedition of 1874, the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877-78, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95, and the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05), each of which was accompanied by a growing volume and variety of news coverage. One of the few constants in this maelstrom was the war correspondent's report: each of the military actions above produced serialized accounts from newspaper reporters traveling with Japan's forces. These reporters included not only canonized authors of modern fiction and poetry and pioneers of Japan's first Western-style newspapers, but also countless others whose names have been largely absent from histories of modern Japan. By treating the work of figures from all of these categories as a unified discursive field, this project challenges the boundaries of canon in literary and journalistic writing and reveals the underlying connections between the two fields of endeavor. Furthermore, I suggest that this shared discourse established a dialectic relationship between conceptions and practices of literary and journalistic narration in modern Japan, through which authority and national identity were not only gradually articulated, but also relocated and rendered transparently "natural" in the form of the narrating modern subject. The dissertation consists of two broad parts comprised of two chapters each for four chapters in total. Part One covers the first decade of the Meiji period, examining the still tightly related forms of newspaper writing, kanbun kundoku, and the gesaku written tradition. This period is marked by both tension and melding between elite and vulgar written forms, with the historical rupture of the Meiji Restoration and the ongoing massive reorganization of laws and society providing the possibility of a similar upheaval in the order of language. Chapter One centers on Kanagaki Robun and his 1874 work Saga denshinroku. Robun melds elite and vulgar discourses and written modes in the compilation of his history, patterning himself after the elite Fukuzawa Yukichi and proclaiming his dedication to contributing to "public history" even while he formats Saga denshinroku as a traditional e-iri yomihon and includes generous helpings of familiar moral didacticism. Despite this seeming tendency toward pastiche, however, I argue that Saga denshinroku should be understood primarily as a genuine attempt to put the style of the Edo yomihon to work at contributing to elite discourses, as an attempt to elevate the gesaku written mode to something much more credible and authoritative than it had been considered before. The attitudes and themes that Robun develops over the course of the text's composition inform and anticipate his oft-mentioned "return to gesaku" several years later. Chapter Two centers on Senpō sairoku, the dispatched reporting of Fukuchi Gen'ichirō in the Seinan War. I argue that a new narrating subject emerges as a result of the stylistic techniques Fukuchi gradually develops. Anchoring national-level events and ideas within a first-person personal narrative, this narrator combines authority and status (established by way of the real-life Fukuchi's experiences and his close access to war command and the Meiji government) with an ability to be personally sympathized or even identified with by readers. This was to become the model approach to dispatched reporting in modern Japan. Part Two of the dissertation covers the Sino-Japanese War (1894-95) and the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05). This section of the dissertation focuses in on the ways that the two discourses of "journalism" and "literature" remain in close contact, even as they begin increasingly to be conceived of as separate fields of endeavor. Chapter Three takes up the dispatched reporting of Kunikida Doppo for the Kokumin shinbun in the Sino-Japanese War. Posthumously collected and published under the title Aitei tsūshin, Doppo's reporting rejects the conception -- already prevalent in the 1890s -- of the war correspondent as objective observer and reporter of fact. Instead, Doppo seeks initially to poetically evoke the experience of being at sea far from home. On the one hand, this focus on lyricism and natural description serves as a grounds to develop and practice the written style which Doppo would put to use in much of his later fiction. Simultaneously, however, the narrative shifts in tone and written style. Read in sequence, these shifts describe a kind of narrative arc, whereby the romantic but callow poet is awakened to the grand ideas of nation and war. I examine the ways that Doppo's written personae are performed and inscribed to reveal how conceptions of individual subjectivity articulated through written style intersect with consciousness of nation and national identity in the reporting of modern Japan's first foreign war. Chapter Four examines Tayama Katai's reporting in the Russo-Japanese War. I consider Katai's war narratives in relation to his literary theories, on the one hand -- particularly February 1904's Rokotsu naru byōsha -- and to his journalistic writings on the other, especially the travel writing that he was known for. Katai's dispatched reporting is much more indebted to the latter than the former. I suggest that for Katai, journalism and literature had become completely severed, functioning as two entirely distinct modes of written practice. Nonetheless, the reworking and rewriting of Katai's war narratives reveals how Katai paradoxically considered his reporting experience as the means for collecting material to be turned into great art. Katai's journalistic writing also provides a critical context for understanding the ways that Katai's canonical "literary" writings were particularly open to a certain kind of biographic reading, which I suggest contributed to the furor on the release of Futon in 1907 and may have helped pave the way for "I-novel" readings in later decades.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Russo-Japanese War was the major conflict of the earliest decade of the twentieth century. The struggle for mastery in northeast Asia, specifically for control of Korea, was watched at the time very closely by observers from many other countries keen to draw lessons about the conduct of war in the modern industrial age. The defeat of a traditional European power by a non-white, non-western nation became a model for imitation and admiration among people under, or threatened with, colonial rule. Examining the wide impact of the war and exploring the effect on the political balance in northeast Asia, this book focuses on the reactions in Europe, the United States, East Asia and the wider colonial world, considering the impact on different sections of society, on political and cultural ideas and ideologies, and on various national independence movements.
