The Regents of the University of Michigan acknowledge with profound sadness the death on April 27, 1997, of Robert Lyons Danly, professor of Japanese language and literature, award-winning writer and translator, and former director of the Center for Japanese Studies.
Born on January 3, 1947, in Oak Park, Illinois, Professor Danly received his bachelor's degree from Yale University in 1969 and spent three years as a copywriter for the Asian Advertising Agency in Tokyo before returning to Yale to complete his doctorate in 1980. He joined the University faculty in 1979. A popular teacher, Professor Danly received the Class of 1923 Award for outstanding teaching of undergraduates in 1984. He was also dedicated to training graduate students, some of whom now teach in important institutions across the country. From 1982-86, he directed a popular translation workshop for the Program in Comparative Literature. He also served as director of the Center for Japanese Studies from 1987-93 and was instrumental in transforming the center's publications program into one of the most highly regarded American publishers for studies of Japanese literature, culture, and history.
A leading expert in Japanese literature, Professor Danly achieved distinction when his first book, In the Shade of Spring Leaves: The Life and Writings of Higuchi Ichiyo, A Woman of Letters in Meiji Japan, published by Yale University Press in 1981, won the 1982 National Book Award for translation. He edited selections of Japanese literature for The Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces, writing introductions to guide Western readers. At the time of his death, Professor Danly had completed a book manuscript titled Worldly Reckonings, an annotated translation of Seken munezan'yo (1692) by Ihara Saikaku. Shortly before he became ill in the fall of 1995, he had begun a new translation for Norton Press of the Tale of Genji, the great masterpiece of Japanese prose fiction written by Murasaki Shikibu in the eleventh century.
Professor Danly will be greatly missed as a scholar, teacher, colleague, and friend. As we mourn the loss of this distinguished colleague, our condolences go to his parents, Donald and Mary Danly, and his three sisters, Christina Denton, Beth Burtt, and Catharine Zoufal.
