- Double-weighted statement
- This is a two-volume, 1,288-page work that represents a decade of research. It presents for the first time in complete English translation almost 3,000 poems composed in classical Japanese. As the poetry competition is one of the key texts for understanding poetic and critical practice in late 12th century Japan, this is a substantial achievement in its own right equivalent to the effort required to produce at least two articles. Yet these translations are accompanied by extensive analysis and commentary presented for the first time in any language. Reviewers have described the work as a ‘tour de force’.
