Western scholars have tended to read Heian literature through the prism of female experience, stressing the imbalance of power in courtship and looking for evidence that women hoped to move beyond the constraints of marriage politics. In this study, Schalow (Japanese literature, Rutgers U.) carries these concerns into a new realm of inquiry: the suffering of noblemen and the literary record of their hopes for transcendence through friendship. He traces this theme in five important literary works ranging from the 10th-century Tale of Ise to the early 11th-century Tale of Genji. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
