Carolina Negri, Pier Carlo Tommasi (a cura di), Images from the Past. Intertextuality in Japanese Premodern Literature, Edizioni Ca' Foscari-Venice University Press, Venezia 2022

This volume brings together scholars from different backgrounds and career stages to rethink the role and scope of intertextuality in the context of premodern Japan. Stemming from an international symposium hosted at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice in 2021 with the generous support of The Japan Foundation, the papers in this collection offer a thoughtful contribution to this debate by engaging texts from different historical periods, media, and genres – be it poetic, narrative, theatrical, visual, or religious.
