		The war between the rival Minamoto and Taira clans paved the way for the rule of Japan's first Shogun in the 12th century and gave birth to numerous legends of wondrous creatures and powerful items of magic.
		Genpei is a dry and ponderous tome that feels twice as long as it actually is. Dalkey's writing is capable but stiff, lacking any voice or flourish.
		The dialogue is formal and devoid of wit, and the method of storytelling seems to be 'tell, don't show' (the story tracks decades in the lives of the Taira and Minamoto families, and much of the story is devoted to playing catch-up by summarizing what happened in the timespan between chapters).

		In so doing, she works toward a new understanding of the underlying cultural problems of which these tales are symptomatic and which they attempt to address.
		Her re-envisioning of the rise of the Minamoto victors provides a nuanced understanding of the narrative and historical impulses that helped shape medieval ideas about the war and the warriors who rose to power in its wake.
		By examining the treatment of the Genpei War across a broad selection of texts and genres, Swords, Oaths, and Prophetic Visions complicates some of the fundamental characterizations of the medieval period and the nature of medieval literature, particularly polarizations between so-called high art and popular stories, and oral versus written literature.

		Ushering in a more centralized form of government than had previously been in place, the seat of power in Japan shifted to the new city of Heian-Kyo in the 8th century, and this change was, not unpredictably, met with resistance from regional powers.
