Abstract | “This work is very welcome as a textbook in college courses on premodern Japanese literature. . . . McCullough is truly in her element when it comes to the Heike. Her introduction to this text consists of a thorough but efficient explanation of a complex historical situation and an excellent account of the textual history of a tale that had its origins in oral literature. Her translation of the complete work is a classic. General; undergraduate.”—Choice |
