This volume in The Cambridge History of Japan provides the most
comprehensive account available in any Weste language of Japan's
transformation from a feudal society to a mode nation state.
Volume 5 traces the roots and the course of political, social, and
institutional change that took place in Japan from late Tokugawa
times to the early twentieth century. The interrelated collection
of authoritative and analytical essays by specialists in the
history of nineteenth century Japan discuss the fissures in late
feudal society, the impact of and response to the Weste world,
the overthrow of the shogunal govement, and the revolutionary
changes that were instituted as defensive measures to strengthen
the country against what seemed a dangerous competition with the
Weste world.
