Book Synopsis
Scholars have often taken Shinkokinshu (1205) to represent a nostalgia for greatness presumed to have been lost in the wars of the late 1100s. The author argues that the compilers of this anthology of waka poetry instead saw their collection as a new beginning, a revitalization and affirmation of courtly traditions, and not a reaction to loss.
