内容紹介
The Tale of Genji has long been considered Japan’s greatest work of literature and one of the world’s greatest novels. Written in the eraly years of the eleven century by the court lady Murasaki Shikibu, the very long romance, spanning 54 chapters, first captured the attention of Western readers when Arthur Waley’s translation, now a classic in its own right, revealed an unsuspected world of elegance and romance centering around court life in tenth-century Japan. This masterly translation by Edward G. Seidensticker, first published in 1976 with an informative introduction, does not attempt to supplant Waley’s, but rather to reflect with more accuracy and with less elaboraton the work that Lady Murasaki actually created while in the service of the empress Akiko in the first decade of the eleventh century. It contains innumerable interesting and delightful revelations about Lady Mursaki’s story of the life and loves of the main hero, an idealized prince known as “the shining Genji”, and other characters and about court life of Heian Japan.

翻訳は原文に忠実であるべきですが、逐語的に忠実でありさえすれば事足りるわけではありません。源氏物語を英訳するに当たり、サイデンステッカーは、うわべの忠実にとらわれることなく自由に訳しました。その結果、自然な英文に仕上がり、非常に読みやすい。その書き出しをウェイリーの訳と比べてみましょう。
（サイデンステッカー訳）
In a certain reign there was a lady not of the first rank whom the emperor loved more than any of the others.
（ウェイリー訳）
At the Court of an Emperor (he lived it matters not when) there was among the many gentlewomen of the Wardrobe and Chamber one, who though she was not of very high rank was favoured far beyond all the rest;...
ウェイリー訳は、逐語的正確性という翻訳の基本に則した古典的名訳ですが、英文としてすらすら読めるという点では、サイデンステッカー訳は出色の出来栄えだと思います。
