| Abstract
|
:
|
"As direct descendants of the great courtier-poets Fujiwara no Shunzei (1114-1204) and his son Teika (1162-1244), the heirs of the noble Reizei house can claim an unbroken literary lineage that spans over eight hundred years. During all that time, they have sustained the poetic enterprise, or michi (way), of the house and safeguarded its literary assets, which include secret teachings, ritual practices, works of art, and a treasure trove of manuscripts." "Steven D. Carter weaves together strands of family history, literary criticism, and historical research into a coherent narrative about the transmission and evolution of the Reizei Way from generation to generation, beginning with its genesis in the late Heian period and ending with the Reizei House as it still directs poetic activities today. What emerges from this approach is a portrait of the Reizei poets as participants in a collective institution devoted more to the continuity of family poetic practices and ideals than to the concept of individual expression that is so central to more modern poetic culture." "The book also features an extensive appendix of one hundred poems from over the centuries, by poets who were affiliated with the Reizei house. Carter's annotations provide critical context for this selection of poems, and his translations underscore the rich contributions of the Reizei family and their many disciples to the Japanese poetic tradition."--Jacket.
