Description
Haruo Shirane's comprehensive guide to classical Japanese is now available in one volume. This textbook completes his two-volume series for learning classical Japanese, the primary written language in Japan from the seventh to the mid-twentieth century.
The text features carefully selected readings that progress from easy to difficult, covering a wide range of historical periods and styles, including essays, fiction, and poetry from notable works. Each reading is accompanied by an English introduction, vocabulary list, and grammatical notes, as well as comprehensive grammatical annotation.
Complementing the readings is a classical Japanese-English dictionary with approximately 2,500 key words, highlighting those used most frequently. This volume is a vital tool for students, scholars, and translators of classical Japanese.
