Sorensen illustrates how, on both the theoretical and the practical level, painted screens and other visual art objects helped define some of the essential characteristics of Japanese court poetry. In his examination of the important genre later termed screen poetry, Sorensen employs ekphrasis (the literary description of a visual art object) as a framework to analyze poems composed on or for painted screens. He provides close readings of poems and their social, political, and cultural contexts to argue the importance of the visual arts in the formation of Japanese poetics and poetic conventions.Brill's Japanese studies library ;v. 40.Japanese poetryHeian period, 794-1185History and criticismLiterature in artScreen painting, JapaneseHistoryJapanese poetryHistory and criticism.Literature in art.Screen painting, JapaneseHistory.895.6/1009Sorensen Joseph T1470113MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779392403321Optical allusions3681786UNINA
