Title: excellent scholarship and series
Review: The series of which this is Volume II began in 1994 with the first volume edited by the distinguished professor emeritus of the London School of Economics (LSE) and Japan specialist Professor Ian Nish who also edited this one. There have now been four more volumes as follows:Britain and Japan: Biographical Portraits, Vol. IIIedited by J.E. Hoare; Volume IV,Britain & Japan: Biographical Portraits, Vol. Vand Volume VI all edited by Sir Hugh Cortazzi. And a seventh volume is being planned as I write this.This volume comprises 24 chapters all by leading British and Japanese academics, or people with the relevant knowledge. They are all well-written and interesting. Topics range from the first British Minister in Japan Sir Rutherford Alcock (Ch.1) to the Impact in Britain of Japan's Post-war Novelists (Ch. 24). It is a great volume in a remarkable series.
