Trade Review
"A real landmark publication. . . . In this endlessly rewarding work of scholarship, skill and devotion we find a Bashō not just as he is customarily seen – a philosopher poet of nature – but very much as a man of the world." * RTÉ *
"A comprehensive exploration of the writer and man crucial to Japan’s literary history. . . . Fitzsimons’ translations are fresh and unexpected." * Japan Times *
