The Columbia Anthology of Traditional Korean Poetry (Translations from the Asian Classics) Book

This groundbreaking anthology, edited by the veteran scholar who founded the field of Korean literature in the West, offers a representative selection from the four major genres of native Korean poetry: the Silla songs known as hyangga, Koryo¯ songs, sijo, and kasa. The volume also includes Songs of Flying Dragons, the great eulogy-cycle compiled from 1445­1447. The editor has taken the daring step of including oral literature in a section of old songs and shaman songs at the end of the anthology. Within each genre works are arranged chronologically so that the reader can trace the genre´s development. The translations have been prepared by distinguished scholars and literary translators and are readable and well annotated.Read More
