Chinese literary forms in Heian Japan : poetics and practice
Brian Steininger (Author)
"Examines the transformation of Chinese literary genres in mid-Heian Japan by focusing on the ritualized recitation practices through which these works were performed and heard. This reconstruction of recitation as both a social and literary act demonstrates Sinographic literature's practical use among the capital nobility and modifications of Tang aesthetic principles"-- Provided by publisher
