An Introduction to Classical Korean Literature
This work provides an introduction to some of the most important and representative genres of classical Korean literature. Coverage includes: Samguk sagi and samguk yusa as literature; Kunmong and Unyongchon; the lyricism of Koryo songs; and the literature of Chosen Dynasty Women
Unheard Voices
Many things are known about the nobi and the nobi system in premodern Korea, such as their demographic data and their social and legal status during the Chosŏn dynasty (1392-1910). But we know little about the private and personal side of their lives, what their day-to-day life was like as individuals or families, the personal and social relationships among the nobi, and nothing at all of their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The sole purpos…

The Memoirs of Lady Hyegyong
Lady Hyegyong's memoirs, which recount the chilling murder of her husband by his father, is one of the best known and most popular classics of Korean literature. From 1795 until 1805 Lady Hyegyong composed this masterpiece, which depicts a court life whose drama and pathos is of Shakespearean proportions. Presented in its social, cultural, and historical contexts, this complete English translation opens a door into a world teeming with conflictin…
Han Sorya and North Korean Literature
This first and only study of North Korean literary history by a Western scholar deals with the crucial role played by Han Sorya, chairman of the D.P.R.K.'s Federation of Literature and Art from 1948 to his purge in 1962, both in devising the iconography of Kim Il Sung's personality cult and in defining the early course of North Korean letters. Through brief studies of Han's own canonical works the author also sets out to dispel the widely-held as…

Mujŏng
Beginning with Mujŏng published in 1971, Yi Kwangsu (1892-?) published four major novels dealing with contemporary themes, each appearing at seven or eight years interval. The last novel, Sarang appeared in 1939. Each of the four novels develops two separate, though related, narrative strands, one of patriotic love and the other of love between a man and a woman. Through a discussion of Mujŏng I hope to demonstrate a direct relationship between t…
Ŭnsegye
This essay is intended to introduce the reader to Ŭnsegye [A silvery world], a remarkable novel by Yi Injik that deserves more attention than it has received, and at the same time to illustrate, in terms of this novel, Yi's strengths and weaknesses as a novelist. Although not formally divided into two parts, Ŭnsegye consists of two halves, each distinct in style and theme. The tragic story of Ch'oe Pyŏngdo, a victim of the corrupt officials of th…
