I came across this title, Zen in English Literature and Oriental Classics, by R. H. Blyth. It was originally published in 1942. I was wondering if anyone had anything to say about it. Some of the things he held up as Zen in the first chapter seemed a little odd, but the premise is compelling: "all that is good in European literature is simply and solely that which is in accordance with the Spirit of Zen."
