These seven essays by the most recent English translator of The Tale of Genji emphasize three major interpretive issues. What is the place of the hero (Hikaru Genji) in the work? What story gives the narrative underlying continuity and form? And how does the closing section of the tale (especially the ten "Uji chapters") relate to what precedes ...

This volume includes seven introduced, annotated, and translated documents from the Japanese 14th century. (1) BAISHORON ("Of Pine and Plum"), the longest document in the book, is an essential record of Ashikaga Takauji's rise and achievements between 1331 and about 1350. It is more accurate than Taiheiki, and its account of the battles of Tadarahama and Minatogawa are especially valuable. (2) The Taiheiki passage on the Southern Court's kidnapping of three Northern Court emperors in 1352. (3) OJIMA NO KUCHIZUSAMI ("Casual Verses from Ojima"), by the regent and man of letters Nijo Yoshimoto, describes the author's dreary journey to the province of Mino, when Emperor Go-Kogon fled there in 1353. (4) This account of the battle of Toji in 1355, by a warrior then in Takauji's entourage, is drawn from the anonymous GEN'ISHU ("A Compendium of Genji Glory"). It offers some dramatic and moving scenes. (5) The Taiheiki account of the last years and death of Cloistered Emperor Kogon, who died in 1364. (6) MICHIYUKIBURI ("Notes from a Journey to Kyushu") is Imagawa Ryoshun's account of his journey to Kyushu in 1371, to pacify the island on behalf of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Ryoshun was prominent as a poet, warrior, and administrator. (7) NANTAIHEIKI ("Against Taiheiki"), was written in 1402, in Imagawa Ryoshun's old age. In this uniquely powerful work he laments that his very success in Kyushu caused him bitter personal loss.

The seven essays in this book present an in-depth reading of The Tale of Genji. They are entitled "Genji and Murasaki: Between Love and Pride"; "Genji and Suzaku: The Disaster of the Third Princess"; "Genji and Suzaku: The Possibility of Ukifune"; "Genji and the Luck of the Sea"; "Pity Poor Kaoru"; "Two Post-Genji Tales on The Tale of Genji"; and "Feminine Veils over Visions of the Male."

Hino Nako (1310-1358) experienced the turmoil of the Japanese mid-14th century. In this moving memoir she sums up her life: her early years of court service, her cruelly brief marriage to Saionji Kinmune, her devotion to her son, the pilgrimages and Zen practice of her later years, and her sense of having done all she could amid chaos and loss to uphold the honor of her house. She omits the death of Kinmune, killed before her eyes in 1335, but the translation includes the Taiheiki account of it. Nako's confession of religious faith and her praise of the beauty of Kitayama, the Saionji estate, are among the finest passages of medieval Japanese literature.

A predecessor of both the nativist humor of Mark Twain and the exotic adventure stories of Washington Irving, Herman Melville, and Richard Dana, Royall Tyler's "The Algerine Captive is an entertaining romp through eighteenth-century society, a satiric look at a variety of American types, from the backwoods schoolmaster to the southern gentleman, and a serious expose of the horrors of the slave trade. "In stylistic purity and the clarity with which Tyler investigates and dramatizes American manners," the critic Jack B. Moore has noted, "The Algerine Captive "stands alone in our earliest fiction." It is also one of the first attempts by an American novelist to depict the Islamic world, and lays bare a culture clash and diplomatic quagmire not unlike the one that obtains between the United States and Muslim nations today.

In this annotated translation and study of an early fourteenth-century Japanese devotional picture scroll set, Royall Tyler illuminates the complex relationships between medieval Japanese religion and politics, text, and art. The Kasuga Gongen genki ("e;The Miracles of the Kasuga Deity"e;) mingles text and painting on silk to tell the tale of miraculous events at the Kasuga shrine in Nara, a site favored by the dominant Fujiwara clan for centuries. The work's values are aristocratic, but the text sheds light on the syncretic nature of the era's religious practices, allowing Tyler to collapse the distinction between high and low forms of medieval Japanese religion. Tyler provides a detailed examination of the scrolls, the shrine, and their history and political role. He also elucidates the scrolls' relationship to literary genre and religious practice, including the interaction between Shintoism and Buddhism. His copious annotations describe the work's historical context, as well as its religious and cultural influences. This study is essential for scholars of religion, art historians, and cultural historians alike.

Two hundred and twenty tales from medieval Japan—tales that welcome us into a fabulous faraway world populated by saints, scoundrels, ghosts, magical healers, and a vast assortment of deities and demons. Stories of miracles, visions of hell, jokes, fables, and legends, these tales reflect the Japanese civilization. They ably balance the lyrical and the dramatic, the ribald and the profound, offering a window into a long-vanished culture.With black-and-white illustrations throughoutPart of the Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library
