A Handbook to Classical Japanese (Cornell East Asia)
The research that went into this book is -without question- superior, and the translations are excellent. To my knowledge no one in the West has ever provided such comprehensive documentation about the verbal system of classical Japanese. With minor adaptations it can be used as a textbook for teachers, and it will serve as an incomparable reference for literature scholars and students of Japan for decades to come. --Stephen Miller, Assistant Professor of Japanese Language and Literature, University of MassachusettsA Handbook to Classical Japanese is a work of love and serious scholarship. [It is] a valuable contribution to both students and teachers in classical Japanese. --Kyoko Selden, Cornell University
