About Pictures Of The Heart: The Hyakunin Isshu In Word
Product Description “A close reading of the Hyakunin isshu is a good way to begin a study of Japanese classical poetry, and Pictures of the Heart is an indispensable introduction to both its philological problems and broader interpretative concerns. Mostow stimulates us to find fresh meaning in the texts and images of a venerable anthology whose very familiarity is the greatest obstacle to full appreciation.” —John T. Carpenter in Monumenta Nipponica About the Author Joshua S. Mostow received his doctorate from the Comparative Literature and Literary Theory Program of the University of Pennsylvania. He is currently a professor in the Department of Asian Studies at the University of British Columbia.
