Extractions: Murasaki Shikibu is said to be the author of The Tale of Genji. Although the same can be said for all women of Murasaki's time, her real name and the date of birth and death cannot be confirmed even for her, the leading author of her day. The name of Murasaki Shikibu was that used for a court lady with "Murasaki" being used as a given name while "Shikibu" refers to her father's position at the court. Beside writing The Tale of Genji, Murasaki also showed her genius in her other famous book called The Diary of Murasaki Shikibu. Murasaki Shikibu was born in a middle-level family of nobility during the middle of the Heian Period. Her father, Fujiwara Tametoki, was known as a scholar and man of literacy although he accomplished little of note as an official in the government. Perhaps in compensation for this, he took pains to see that his daughter was well learned. Murasaki Shikibu was remarkable when yet a child learning to read books that even educated boys found difficult. Murasaki's childhood was not a happy one as her mother passing away soon after she was born followed by her elder sister on whom she depended. Murasaki married rather late into a family of similar social class. Within a few years, her husband died leaving Murasaki with a daughter and much grief and pain. It was against this background that Murasaki began writing The Tale of Genji in which she looks closely at the relationships of men and women and the unfortunate circumstances in which women find themselves placed in.

http://www.penguinputnam.com/static/rguides/us/tale_of_genji.html

Extractions: Translated by Royall Tyler INTRODUCTION The Tale of Genji , written a thousand years ago in Japan, is a great masterpiece of world literature. Although not the oldest surviving example of prose fiction, it may well be the first novel ever written. In The Progress of Fiction , the British novelist Clara Reeve (1729-1807) distinguished the novel from the romance and wrote, "The Novel is a picture of real life and manners, and ... gives a familiar relation of such things as pass every day before our eyes.... [It] represent[s] every scene in so easy and natural a manner ... as to deceive us into a persuasion (at least while we are reading) that all is real, until we are affected by the joys or distresses of the persons in the story as if they were our own." Her words describe The Tale of Genji . Remarkably, Murasaki Shikibu, the tale's author, was also a woman. Murasaki Shikibu (973?-1014?) was born into the middle level of the Japanese aristocracy. In about 1006 she was called to serve the Empress of the time, perhaps because she wrote such good stories. Nobody knows just when she began her Tale or when she finished it, but what remains of her diary alludes to the work as it existed in 1007 or 1008, and she has been recognized ever since as the author of all fifty-four chapters. Unfortunately, no manuscript survives from her time. The earliest known text dates from about 1200. Murasaki Shikibu wrote above all for the Empress, her patron, and through her for other members of the highest aristocracy. A great lady did not normally read a story silently by herself. Instead, she listened while one of her women read it aloud and she herself looked at the pictures. Murasaki Shikibu may well have read some chapters in person to the Empress, and she certainly wrote her tale in that spirit.

A brief guide to characters and some terms from the great 11th centuryJapanese novel, The Tale of Genji by Lady murasaki shikibu.

Extractions: This list is designed to help readers keep track of the characters in The Tale of Genji by Lady Murasaki Shikibu in the English translations by Arthur Waley (1933), Edward G. Seidensticker (1976), and Royall Tyler (2001). There are frequent differences, since the author follows the custom of her time in referring to individuals indirectly, by nicknames or titles. For another net list, see http://www.meijigakuin.ac.jp/~pmjs/resources/genji/genji-chart-names.html . For a summary of all 54 chapters, see http://www.taleofmurasaki.com/taleofgenjipage.htm . Also worth looking at is http://www.taleofgenji.org/ , a site with many useful Genji resources. This list also draws on material in Ivan Morris, The World of the Shining Prince (1964), and William J. Puette, The Tale of Genji: A Reader's Guide (1983). Lisa Dalby, the author of Geisha , has written a novel about the work's author, The Tale of Murasaki (2000), weaving together material from the novel, from Murasaki's diary (also available in translation), and a more general imaginative recreation of the period. Agemaki Name used in Waley translation for Oigimi , the eldest daughter of the Eighth Prince (known in Waley as Prince Hachi).

Extractions: -Baroness Murasaki Shikibu about the nature of court life in her time Murasaki Shikibu was born around 978 A.D. in Kyoto, Japan to the Fujiwara family. Her real name is unknown, but it is thought that she possibly got her name from the name of her novel's heroine. Not much is known about her, for she wrote in a diary from 1007 to 1010 and that is the only real source of her known biography. She was educated by her father and learned the language of Chinese. While in her early 20's it was necessary for her to marry a distant relative and together, they had their only child, a daughter, in 999. However, her husband died in 1001. After this event, Murasaki chose to join the court. It was there that she wrote what she is known for today: Genji-monogatari , also called The Tale of Genji in English. It told facts about the upper class of society while integrating the story of a prince named Genji who has a life full of complications. It was written sometime between 1001 and 1010 and was published in 1011. This book became very popular and was read out loud throughout Japan. It also influenced (for centuries, I might add) Japan's literature by establishing a standard. Many imitations or works based on

Her book, The Tale of Genji (1000) was the world's first great novel and considered by many to be Japan's greatest work of fiction. "Foolish are they indeed who trust to fortune!" she said. "A night of endless dreams , inconsequent and wild, is this my life; none more worth telling than the rest." The 11th-century masterpiece of the Heian period celebrated the romantic tales of Prince Genji, the "Shining Prince," and was written for oral presentation in court. "Princes are the lamps that alight this world," she wrote in Chapter 9. The novel, which is twice as long as
