for Spring 2017
Congratulations to Dr. Constantine Vaporis, Director, Asian Studies
Program, and Professor, History who was awarded a Dresher Center
Fellowship for Spring 2017.
Dr. Vaporis' project is Sword and Brush: Portraits of Samurai Life in Early Modern Japan, 1600-1868.
During the Fellowship, Dr. Vaporis will complete his current book
manuscript. Despite the widespread appeal of the samurai as cultural icon,
there is a dearth of historical scholarship on the subject in English.
Sword and Brush will be the first collection of biographies of samurai,
who were the political – military elite of early modern, or Tokugawa,
society. This volume, which will be aimed at the general reader and is
both a social history of early modern Japan told through the biographies
of ten samurai and a study of biography as a historical genre.
