The Tale of Genji (unabridged)
Murasaki Shikibu, Dennis WashburnMurasaki Shikibu, born into the middle ranks of the aristocracy during the Heian period (794–1185 CE), wrote The Tale of Genji—widely considered the world’s first novel—during the early years of the eleventh century. Expansive, compelling, & sophisticated in its representation of ethical concerns & aesthetic ideals, Murasaki’s tale came to occupy a central place in Japan’s remarkable history of artistic achievement & is now recognized as a masterpiece of world
literature.
The Tale of Genji is presented here in a
flowing new translation for contemporary readers, who will discover in its depiction of the culture of the imperial court the rich complexity
of human experience that simultaneously resonates with & challenges their own. Washburn sets off interior monologues with italics for fluid
reading, embeds some annotations for accessibility & clarity, & renders the poetry into triplets to create prosodic analogues of the original.
Lady Murasaki Shikibu, born in the year 978, was a member of the famed Fujiwara clan--one of the most influential families of the Heian period. Her literary ability quickly won her a place in the entourage of the Empress Akiko. After the death of her husband, Murasaki Shikibu immersed herself in Buddhism, & the religion's influences permeate her writing.
