Perfumed Sleeves and Tangled Hair : Body, Woman, and Desire in Medieval Japanese Narratives

Explores the possibilities and limits of terms such as "body", "woman", "gender", and "agency" to analyse texts that come out of altogether different temporal and cultural contexts. Through close textual readings of a wide range of classical and medieval narratives, Rajyashree Pandey offers new ways of understanding such terms within the context of medieval Buddhist knowledge.
