Bashoâ€(tm)S Linked Verse: A Comprehensive Translation of the 576 Poems Across 16 Volumes

This book was the culmination of over 10 years of dedicated effort. Especially, it presents a comprehensive translation of Basho’s linked verse, encompassing 576 poems across 16 volumes, along with the results of my research on linked verses using statistical methods. There had been no complete English translation of all the 576 poems in 16 volumes. An introduction is provided for those encountering Basho’s linked verses for the first time. The notes section elucidates difficult Japanese words, cultural nuances, and references to classical literature.
