4.0 out of 5 stars
helps affirm the historical existence of Korea,
By
This review is from: Anthology of Korean Literature: From Early Times to Nineteenth Century (UNESCO Collection of Representative Works: European) (Paperback)
Lee covers prose and poetry. Showing the richness of Korean literature and its historic antecedents. Perhaps the book can be considered in part an affirmation of the very existence of Korea, since it has had the unfortunate fate of often being dominated by China and Japan.
The stories give insight into the Korea of their times, and of the general cultural outlooks implied by the narratives. The poetry is quite different from Japanese haiku, and the selected poems are short. It is unclear whether there are any classic long Korean poems, or whether Lee just decided to present us with short ones. |
