520 8  Written in the eleventh century by the Japanese noblewoman
       Murasaki Shikibu, The Tale of Genji is a masterpiece of 
       prose and poetry that is widely considered the world's 
       first novel. Melissa McCormick provides a unique companion
       to Murasaki's tale that combines discussions of all fifty-
       four of its chapters with paintings and calligraphy from 
       the Genji Album (1510) in the Harvard Art Museums, the 
       oldest dated set of Genji illustrations known to exist. In
       this book, the album's colorful painting and calligraphy 
       leaves are fully reproduced for the first time, followed 
       by McCormick's insightful essays that analyze the Genji 
       story and the album's unique combinations of word and 
       image. This stunning compendium also includes English 
       translations and Japanese transcriptions of the album's 
       calligraphy, enabling a holistic experience of the work 
       for readers today. In an introduction to the volume, 
       McCormick tells the fascinating stories of the individuals
       who created the Genji Album in the sixteenth century, from
       the famous court painter who executed the paintings and 
       the aristocrats who brushed the calligraphy to the work's 
       warrior patrons and the poet-scholars who acted as their 
       intermediaries. Beautifully illustrated, this book serves 
       as an invaluable guide for readers interested in The Tale 
       of Genji, Japanese literature, and the captivating visual 
       world of Japan's most celebrated work of fiction.
