- Description
- Challenging traditional understandings of Heian literature, Yoda reveals the connections between gender, nationalism, and cultural representation evident in prevailing interpretations of classic texts of the Heian period (794-1192). Yoda historicizes claims about the inherent femininity of Heian literature by revisiting key moments in the history of Japanese literary scholarship from the eighteenth century to the present.
