Murasaki Shikibu's achievement

The author of The Tale of Genji invented psychological realism in prose fiction over a thousand years ago, developing interior monologue and the subtle rendering of emotion that would become the foundation of the modern novel. Her work demonstrates that technical innovation in storytelling emerges from close attention to how consciousness actually feels from the inside.
