The diary’s placement in a liquid landscape far removed from the capital opens up a distinctive discursive space in which even the most banal sentences are deployed to great effect. Such aspects of the diary enable a greater appreciation of its longstanding significance as a new form of travel narrative, a dimension often overlooked in contemporary Anglophone accounts that focus on its connections to script and gender.}, pages = {17--43}, title = {Liquid Landscapes : Tosa Nikki’s Pioneering Poetic Contribution to Travelogue Prose}, volume = {32}, year = {2019} }
