Reviews

The originality of the approach produces a host of startling juxtapositions and trenchant questions that will stimulate and challenge any scholar of the medieval period. -- Brian Steininger * Journal of Japanese Studies * A major contribution to our understanding of premodern Japanese historiography; this review cannot do justice to the breadth and richness of Brightwell's research, which answers important questions and raises many more...We should be grateful to Erin Brightwell for undertaking such a monumental task. Reflecting the Past's sweep and ambition are remarkable; its arguments will compel scholars to fundamentally rethink how they approach not only mirrors but other well-known works like Gukansho and Jinno shotoki as well. -- David Spafford * Monumenta Nipponica *
