Gender and National Literature: Heian Texts in the Constructions of Japanese Modernity - Asia-Pacific: Culture, Politics, and Society
Tomiko Yoda
Reveals the connections between gender, nationalism, and cultural representation evident in prevailing interpretations of classic Heian texts (794-1192). This book argues that by foregrounding women's voices in Heian literature, the discipline has repeatedly enacted the modernizing gesture in which the 'feminine' is recognized, and canceled.
