Authorship
Theories vary as to the identity of the author, with some suggesting Ki no Tsurayuki. Others have, based on the title of the work, guessed that it may have been composed by the poetess Ise, but this is generally taken as unlikely, as none of the other known works of this period use the names of their authors as their principle titles.

Famous quotes containing the word authorship:
“The Bible is good enough for me, just the old book under which I was brought up. I do not want notes or criticisms, or explanations about authorship or origins, or even cross- references. I do not need, or understand them, and they confuse me.”
—Grover Cleveland (1837–1908)
