About this book
"The travel writings of Matsuo Bash? are of enormous literary importance, and so it is a joy to see them collected in this compact volume, in translations of exemplary elegance, faithfulness, and accessibility. The annotations are especially valuable: they show a solid grasp of the author's life, work, and times, and provide rich and detailed background information about allusions to Chinese and Japanese classics. Along with the high quality of the translations themselves, this thorough commentary makes the book a significant scholarly resource and will help readers appreciate the density and delicacy of Bash?'s writing. A very welcome addition to the English-language literature on one of the central poets of the Japanese tradition."
—David B. Lurie, Columbia University
