Diaries of Court Ladies of Old Japan

Shepley Omori Annie, Kochi Doi

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Izumi Shikibu's Diary is written with extreme delicacy of treatment. English words and thought seem too downright a medium into which to ren der these evanescent, half-expressed sentences and poems - vague as the misty mountain scenery of her country, with no pronouns at all, and without Verb inflections. The shy reserve of the lady's writ ten record has induced the use of the third person as the best means of suggesting it.
