Re: Open access article with new link

With apologies for my technological issues, the last link may not work! But this one (which looks identical to me, but who knows?) seems to.

Dear Colleagues,

For anyone interested in Genji commentaries or the medieval reception of the Genji, I'd like to share a link to my recent article that The Journal of Japanese Studies has made open access through April 5, 2021 (if I counted the days correctly):

Dear Erin, 

If your readers (and may they be many) input “Brightwell” into the search box on the page reached by the link, your article will appear. 

Thank you for sending this stimulating article, which brings back fond memories of reading old Genji commentaries—though I did so with far less understanding than you display. Interpreting Onna San no Miya’s story through the lens of Yusenkutsu would never have occurred to me, or I suspect to M. Shikibu, but Yoshinari must have been reflecting a reading current in his time. It makes me wonder what the Kakaisho has to say about the real good-time girls in Genji, such as Oborozukiyo or old Naishi.

Best regards,

Aileen

“good-time girls”? Seriously? 

But seriously, I’m a little skeptical about whether Yoshinari’s take on _Yusenkutsu_ reflected any real currency among the literati of his time, or that of the Genji author’s, rather than his vast personal erudition, somewhat goofy sense of humor, and evidently crushing OCD — I suspect that many of his Sinitic glosses (not unlike the funny phony signature attached to his preface) may be tongue-in-cheek, or at least a stretch, say. _Yusenkutsu_, BTW, is not, in my experience at least, an easy read, and I suspect the amount of attention it received may have had no less to do with the titillation than to an awareness (which sank in when? however — vague impression maybe not until late 19th c.?) of the extinction of mss. in the motherland, so to speak.

Many thanks, meanwhile, to Erin for a fascinating read (still digesting).
