Central to this process was the creation of a tradition of vernacular poetry in which Yamato courtiers could participate and recognize themselves as the cultured officials of the new imperial realm.Brill's Japanese studies library ;v. 45.Imperialism in literatureCourts and courtiers in literaturePolitics and literatureJapanHistoryTo 1500Political cultureJapanHistoryTo 1500Japanese poetryTo 1185History and criticismJapanese literatureTo 1185History and criticismJapanHistory645-794JapanIntellectual lifeTo 1185Electronic books.Imperialism in literature.Courts and courtiers in literature.Politics and literatureHistoryPolitical cultureHistoryJapanese poetryHistory and criticism.Japanese literatureHistory and criticism.895.6/11Duthie Torquil968539MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453416703321Man'yőshű and the imperial imagination in early Japan2199942UNINA
