About Murasaki Shikibu
About The Tale of Genji
The Tale of Genji is the 11th-century Japanese masterpiece — often called the world's first novel. Written by the Heian-court noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu around 1010, the 54-chapter novel follows the romantic life of Hikaru Genji ('the Shining Prince'), illegitimate son of an Emperor, and his many love affairs at the Japanese imperial court. The Royall Tyler translation in Penguin Classics is the definitive English version.
