Liza Dalby wrote a fictionalized biography of this person who, in 1964, was designated by UNESCO as one of the world's greatest people. This author's father Tametako Fujiwara was an accomplished aristocratic poet, and a compilation of 128 of her own poems has appeared as her namesake collection, while her diary describes her time as an attendant of the empress Akiko. But she may be best known for a 54-chapter work about the love affairs of a certain prince of Japan. For ten points, name this eleventh-century author of The Tale of Genji.
