“Carter’s
life of Ichijo Kaneyoshi opens a fascinating window for exploring a feudal
society at a time of great stress. . . . Regent Redux is
a superb piece of scholarship and makes fascinating reading. For the
person with more than a passing interest in feudal Japan, it is
indispensable.” “Carter’s
study, beautifully presented and well researched, expands our knowledge of
the complex interrelationships of court families, the imperial institution
and the Ashikaga shogunate, providing valuable information on social and
economic history of fifteenth-century Japan previously unavailable in
English language scholarship.” “Carter
has established himself as our best translator of medieval poetry and the
numerous examples he provides in this book come up to his usual high
standard. . . . Anyone interested in medieval Japan or the
problems of biographical writing will want to read this valuable study.” Published by Center
for Japanese Studies, University of Michigan |
