This volume offers an English translation of select Chinese poems of premodern Korea. All major dynasties of Korea—from the Geojoseon era (2333 BC-108 BC) to the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910)—are represented here. The works contained in this book are well known among Koreans, and many of them constitute part of the Korean, history, and moral education curricula. In addition to the poems, this book provides brief biographical sketches, occasional notes, and illustrations, such as portraits, calligraphy, and photos.
