Bøger af Edith Sarra

Edith Sarra radically rethinks the Tale of Genji by focusing on the figure of the house-both the narrative's images of aristocratic mansions and its representation of their inhabitants. Unreal Houses opens new perspectives on the architectonics of the Genji and the feminine milieu that midwifed what has been called the world's first novel.

This study explores women writers and gender portrayals at the Japanese Heian court and Heian memoirists creations of themselves in four texts: "Kagero Nikki", "Makura No Soshi", "Sarashina Nikki, and "Sanuki No Suke Nikki".
