From the rear cover
Emphasising context, connections and long-term trends, A History of Korea illuminates both the distinctiveness and universality of one of the world's oldest cultures. Assuming no prior knowledge, Hwang guides readers from early state formation and the dynastic eras to the modern experience in both North and South Korea. Structured around episodic accounts, each chapter begins by discussing a defining moment in Korean history in context, with an extensive examination of how the events and themes under consideration have been viewed up to the present day. Revised and refreshed throughout, this new edition brings the narrative right up to the present day while the wealth of resources on the brand new companion website will support your learning both inside and outside of the classroom.
Dynamic and meticulously researched, this third edition continues to be one of the leading introductory textbooks on Korean history. It is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Korean or Asian history.Details
