3.0 out of 5 stars
Print on demand title of an old essay,
By thetwonky (Northridge, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hokku or Epigram Verses of Basho (Paperback)
Please note: this is simply a Print-On-Demand issue of Prof. Chamberlain's essay "Basho, The Chief Poet of Japan, and the Hokku, or Epigram Verses". This publishing house also uses the former part of the title in a second publication of the same essay, so do not be confused or waste your money on the same text. It is nice to have this essay available separate from the original volume it had appeared, Sacred Books and Early Literature of the East: Vol. 13 Japan, edited by Charles F. Horne, first published in 1917. However, Chamberlain's translations are loose and only serve as an academic curiosity as all of the poems within have been translated umpteen times since, and by more skilled scholars of the genre. The poems' adjacent texts offer little or no insight to Basho's thoughts or offer criticism of the verse.
