This text represents the centuries-long emergence of this aesthetic in poetry, fiction, drama, essays, speeches, sermons, criticism, journals, and the full range of song lyrics from the spiritual to rap. Produced in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution, the audio CD is a one-of-a-kind collection of many of the poems, chants, and songs included in the book.

The Riverside Counselor’s Stories
Author: Robert L. Backus
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 9780804712606
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
A new translation of the Tsutsumi Chu-nagon Monogatari. Nine of these ten short stories were written in the 11th and 12th centuries, presumably by women of Japan's court aristocracy. Like Lady Murasaki's The Tale of Genji, which predates them, several short narratives pursue romantic entanglements of Heian courtiers. But unlike Murasaki's classic, some of the stories satirize male characters cast in the Genji mold, and others ridicule social convention.
