Danly, Robert Lyons. In the Shade of Spring Leaves: The Life and Writings of Higuchi Ichiyo, a Woman of Letters in Meiji Japan. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1981, 335 p.

Critical biography focusing on Higuchi's short stories and diary. Danly maintains the importance of examining "the experiences and preoccupations out of which great literature grows.… If any writer gave her life the shape and meaning of a work of art it was Ichiyō—this was a central purpose of the diaries." The volume includes annotated translations of nine stories selected by Danly as representative.
