Cranston. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780804748254.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complete second volume of Edwin Cranstons monumental Waka Anthology\nGrasses of Remembrance carries forward the story of Japanese court poetry through its Early Classical period, drawing from sources dating from the 890s to the 1080s. These two centuries saw the revival of the prestige of poetry in the native tongue after a century of official preference for versification in Chinese. An anthology of anthologies, bound complete in a single volume for the first time, Grasses of Remembrance draws copiously from the first four imperially ordered collections, Kokinshu, Gosenshu, Shuishu, and Goshuishu, examining the structure and illustrating the content of each. In all, the book contains over 2,600 poems in lively and readable translation, including selections from Shinsen Manyoshu, a late-ninth-century collection of parallel verses in Chinese and Japanese, and all 795 poems from The Tale of Genji.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946697191477,"sku":"ByrdShop_080474825X","price":330.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780804748254_bec9af0b-4ab1-4384-84f1-87b614ef650d.jpg?v=1778641200","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-waka-anthology-volume-two-grasses-of-remembrance-parts-a-b-9780804748254","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
