Description
An "Ise monogatari" Reader is the first collection of essays in English on The Ise Stories, a canonical literary text ranked beside The Tale of Genji. Eleven scholars from Japan, North America, and Europe explore the historical and political context in which this literary court romance was created, or relate it to earlier works such as the Man'yoshu and later works such as the Genji and noh theater. Its medieval commentary tradition is also examined, as well as early modern illustrated editions and parodies. The collection brings cutting-edge scholarship of the very highest level to English readers, scholars, and students.
Contributors are: Aoki Shizuko, Fujihara Mika, Fujishima Aya, Goto Shoko, Imanishi Yuichiro, Susan Blakeley Klein, Laura Moretti, Joshua S. Mostow, Otani Setsuko, Takahashi Toru, and Yamamoto Tokuro
