High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Tale of Genji (源氏物語, Genji Monogatari?) is a classic work of Japanese literature attributed to the Japanese noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu in the early 11th century, around the peak of the Heian period. It is sometimes called the world's first novel, the first modern novel, the first psychological novel or the first novel still to be considered a classic. While universally considered a masterpiece, its precise classification and influence in both Western and Eastern Canon has been a matter of debate (see Stature below).
