The Princeton Companion to Classical Japanese Literature

"A reference work that is at once comprehensive, stimulating, and potentially useful to both a specialist and non-specialist readership. . . . I cannot imagine a scholar or student in the field of Japanese studies who will not be grateful to Earl Miner for creating the happy combination of talent, energy, and expertise in the Miner-Odagiri-Morrell team, which made the Companion happen."–-Eleanor Kerkham, Monumenta Nipponica

"[The] Companion is superb. . . . It is one of the most important reference tools ever to have appeared in the field of Japanese studies and its writers have earned our gratitude as well as our admiration. . . . All this information, a whole library in a single volume, is–thanks to its original structure–extremely easy to use."–-Donald Richie, The Japan Times
