Book Synopsis Rethinking Sorrow by : Margaret Childs

Download or read book Rethinking Sorrow written by Margaret Childs and published by U of M Center for Japanese Studies. This book was released on 1996-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childs argues that "The Tale of Genmu," "Tales Told on Mount Koya," "The Three Monks," and "The Seven Nuns" form a small, coherent subgroup of stories that describe how people were inspired to religious commitment. These "revelatory tales" consist of firsthand accounts offered by groups of monks and nuns who tell and listen to each other's tales in turn, a public sharing that is, in fact, a religious ritual by which means the storytellers hope to confirm their beliefs and strengthen their religious resolve. Rethinking Sorrow is important reading for anyone interested in medieval Japanese literature and culture, in Buddhist didactic literature, and in homoerotic literature. It provides a private, personal look at the religious and literary world of late medieval Japan.
