Invitation to World Literature is a multimedia series introducing drama, epic poetry, and novels from many times and cultures.
Thirteen half-hour videos form the centerpiece of the project, and feature a mix of writers, scholars, artists, and performers with personal connections to world literature.
The Tale of Genji is included in this series.
All contents were brought together by Professor David Damrosch of Harvard University, a world-renowned expert on world literature.
The project was funded by Annenberg Media.
