The Taiheiki (Chronicle of the Grand Pacification) of unknown authorship is the most detailed primary source on Go-Daigo, of which there is an excellent translation by Helen Craig McCullough, The Taiheiki: A Chronicle of Medieval Japan (1959). The most detailed and authoritative general history in English on the subject is George Sansom, A History of Japan, vol. 1 and 2 (1958–61). For the views of Japanese thinkers of the Tokugawa period (1603–1867) on the subject, see David Magarey Earl, Emperor and Nation in Japan: Political Thinkers of the Tokugawa Period (1964).
