R. H. Blyth
R. H. BLYTH (1898-1964) stands with just a few others—D. T. Suzuki, Alan Watts, Ruth Fuller Sasaki—as the earliest successful proponents of Japanese literary aesthetics and Zen practice and worldviews to Western readers. His 1942 book Zen in English Literature and Oriental Classics is a landmark in the cultural history of modern Zen, and his volumes of translated East Asian poetry helped bring that region's poetic traditions to world renown.
