Reviews
In this gathering of premodern Korean literature--poetry, prose, ritual songs, historical narratives, oral drama, mask dance, even a puppet play--readers will find the full range of Korean literature and performance culture richly represented, compellingly translated, and clearly explained. An absolute must-have for courses on Korean literary history and an engaging book that will delight and inform readers, this most recent of Peter Lee's many contributions to the field gives new depth, new meaning to the term "anthology." It is all here!, This is a great, single-source reference of traditional Korean literature in its many forms-prose and verse, myths and legends, shaman and Buddhist chants, folk songs, court lyrics and oral traditions.

Synopsis
This revised, expanded anthology, compiled and edited by pioneering scholar and translator Peter H. Lee, offers a representative selection of traditional Korean literature. Its rich and diverse selections, covering all genres and forms written in classical (literary) Chinese and the vernacular Korean language, were chosen for both their literary merit and socio-historical engagement with their times. Divided into four parts--verse, prose, fiction, and oral literature--representing the four major branches of traditional Korean literature, it includes previously undervalued or suppressed texts such as Kory love lyrics, shamanist narrative songs, and p'ansori --creations composed in the mind, retained in memory, sung to audiences, and heard, not read. Every effort has been made to render Korea's literary past credibly and meaningfully. With its fresh translations and new examples of oral literature and fiction, this comprehensive, one-volume anthology will provide students and general readers with the means to gain a deep appreciation of Korean literature and its interconnections with other East Asian literatures., This revised, expanded anthology, compiled and edited by pioneering scholar and translator Peter H.
