Preeminent scholar and translator David R. McCann presents an anthology of his own translations of works ranging across the major genres and authors of Korean writing—stories, legends, poems, historical vignettes, and other works—and a set of critical essays on major themes. A brief history of traditional Korean literature orients the reader to the historical context of the writings, thus bringing into focus this rich literary tradition. The anthology of translations begins with the Samguk sagi, or History of the Three Kingdoms, written in 1145, and ends with "The Story of Master Hô," written in the late 1700s. Three exploratory essays of particular subtlety and lucidity raise interpretive and comparative issues that provide a creative, sophisticated framework for approaching the selections.

This anthology presents new translations of Korean prose works from the tenth to the nineteenth century. It offers insight into past Korean societies by highlighting genres that have largely not been translated, such as diaries, short fictional biographies, erotic tales, oral narratives, and novellas, all of which illustrate the depth and variety of premodern Korean writings. The selections are intended to show what literate people of the premodern period enjoyed reading and demonstrate the cultural diversity of the creation of literature, including a range of writings by women and nonelites such as commoners. The volume also includes critical essays and short introductions to contextualize the materials and explain the ideological backdrop behind the creation of the works.

This volume offers essential information and a basic framework for understanding twentieth-century Korean literature. Growing out of a continuous tradition of over 2,000 years, twentieth-century Korean literature, termed "modern Korean Literature" by Korean scholars, has been shaped by profound social and political transformations on the peninsula. Those decades of great suffering and change gave birth to poets and writers of broad vision and to works of literature that testify both to actual Korean experience within this history and to the Korean spirit of resistance and transcendence. It is this literature that offers the most concrete and abundant knowledge and intuition of the sensibilities and habits of thought and the moral values and aesthetic views that guided the lives of Koreans in the twentieth century.CONTENTS1900-1945: THE RISE OF MODERN LITERATURE: Two Moderns: Yi Kwangsu and Kim Tong-in Between Enlightenment and Art Elegies for a Lost Era: Kim Sowol and Han Yong-un Social Consciousness and the Rise of Realist Fiction Colonial Pastorals: Rural Sketches in Time of Oppression Modernization of Poetic Language and Imagination1945-1970: LIBERATION AND THE KOREAN WAR: Abundance Amid Privation: The Poetry of So Chongju Exploring Nature and Life: Yu Chihwan and Pak Mog-wol Tradition and Humanity: Kim Tongni and Hwang Sunwon Prose Poetry and Condensations of Poetic Language: Kim Su-yong and Kim Ch?unsu Currents in Fiction: Political Life and Existential Life1970-1990: LITERATURE IN AN INDUSTRIALIZING SOCIETY: The Shadows Cast by Industrialization Continuing Consequences of Korean Division The Expression of Social Concerns in Poetry Women?s Voices Explorations of Existence and Quests for New Language Expansions of Fictional Space ?The Era of Poetry? and Deconstructions of Language
