Description

Now in a fully revised and updated edition including new primary sources and illustrations, this engaging text provides a concise history of Korea from the beginning of human settlement in the region through the late nineteenth century. Michael J. Seth's thorough chronological narrative equally emphasizes social, cultural, and political history. Students will be especially drawn to descriptions of everyday life for both elite and nonelite members of society during various historical periods. The book emphasizes how Korean history can be understood as part of an interactive sphere that includes three basic areas: China, Japan, and the Manchurian/Central Asian region. Throughout, Seth draws comparisons between developments in Korea and those in neighboring regions. All readers looking for a balanced, knowledgeable history will be richly rewarded with this clear and cogent book. Review Michael Seth's A Concise History of Korea remains the best overview of Korean history in the English language. Both thorough and readable, it is the ideal book to use in undergraduate-level Korean history courses. It is also great for anybody who wants to know more about almost any aspect of Korean history.--Gregg Brazinsky, George Washington University Whenever I'm asked to recommend a textbook on Korean history, I always put Michael Seth's A Concise History of Korea at the top of my list. Now in its third edition, the book provides the most up-to-date survey of Korean history, introducing fresh research and interpretations. Seth places Korea clearly within the East Asian world and highlights the unique aspects of Korea's past. As with the previous edition, Michael Seth succeeds in this history in every way.--Edward Shultz, emeritus, University of Hawaii at Manoa Michael Seth's text remains the most accessible overview of Korean history. Going beyond the platitudes about the 'land of the morning calm' or the 'hermit kingdom, ' it is a useful and clear guide to the Korean peninsula's turbulent past.--John Lie, University of California, Berkeley About the Author Michael J. Seth is professor of history at James Madison University.
