「日本美術の恩人」と称されるフェノロサの英文著作の初の集成です。
明治11年に米国より来日し、前年開校した東京大学の政治学、理財学、哲学教授に着任したお雇い外国人フェノロサは、教育者として、後の日本教育界をリードすることになる多くの人材(井上哲次郎、岡倉天心、嘉納治五郎、高田早苗など)を育てますが、同時に、西洋崇拝の明治にあって見捨てられていた日本の伝統美術を高く評価し、美術品収集、研究を進め、岡倉天心とともに東京美術学校の創立に尽力します。米国帰国後もボストン美術館日本美術部キュレーターを務め、米国での日本美術の紹介や、ボストンだけでなくフリーア美術館など米国での代表的日本美術コレクションの礎をつくったことでも知られています。
しかし、その業績や人物に対する評価に比べると、詩集East and Westのほかには大きな単行本著作を残さず急逝したフェノロサの執筆活動や著作に対する研究は、未だ限定的にしかなされていないといえます。前述の詩集や、死後未亡人メアリー・フェノロサが遺稿をまとめたEpochs of Chinese and Japanese Art、そしてエズラ・パウンドがフェノロサ
訳として編んだ謡曲集、そして日本での講演の日本語による記録などが現在でもフェノロサの著書として一般に言及されていますが、フェノロサ自身が日本語をほとんど解さなかったことなどを考慮すると、これらの出版物のどこまでを本来の彼の著作とするのかは、議論が分かれるところでしょう。
没後100年を期に編集される今回の著作集は、フェノロサが自らの名前で活字化していたほぼすべて(ペーパーバック等で刊行されている詩集East
and Westおよび遺著Epochs of Chinese and Japanese Artを除く)の文献を復刻にて収録します。ハーバード大学卒業文集に発表した長詩や、東京大学で出題した試験問題から、日本の英字新聞や雑誌に投稿されたゴンスやアンダーソンの日本美術書への書評や日本文化論、美術展カタログへの解説、シカゴ万国博覧会の教育会議での発表、帰国後アメリカの雑誌に発表された美術論や美術教育論など計45点(予定)の文献を全3巻に収録します。そのほとんどが初出後初めて再刊されるものです。編者による別冊解説、そして巻末には編者がフェノロサの業績と参考事項を詳説する年表と、夫人メアリーの浮世絵に関する論文2点を付録します。
今後のフェノロサ研究、近代日本美術史、米国・西洋での日本美術の受容の研究には必携の文献です。
