This anthology is the most ambitious, comprehensive, and authoritative English-language sourcebook of Korean civilization ever assembled. Encompassing social intellectual, religious, and literary traditions from ancient times through World War II, this collection reveals the grand corpus of thought, beliefs, and customs unique to the Korean people.

Volume I features three major periods of Korean history: the Three Kingdoms and Unified Silla (57 B.C.-935), Koryo (918-1392), and Early Choson (1392-1600). Each section begins with a broad historical introduction to provide context and perspective, and contains representative writings from the era, with commentary, background, and analysis.

Review

" "The Sourcebook of Korean Civilization" should go a long way toward remedying the lack of reliable source material translated into English. We are fortunate that Peter Lee and his colleagues have been willing to devote their great scholarly talents to the compiling of such a rich anthology, presenting a wide range of materials on Korean history, society, religion, and thought." -- Wm. Theodore de Bary
