Description

Explore the rich cultural history of Korea with this comprehensive collection of myths and legends. Published by Routledge, this annotated compendium offers a deep look into Korean storytelling through 175 tales drawn from both ancient and modern periods. It is a unique resource, as no other work of this scale or depth is available in a Western language. The book is organized into three distinct categories to help readers navigate the material: foundation myths of ancient states and clans, ancient folktales and legends, and modern folktales. To provide broader context, 16 additional tales are included for comparative study. Each narrative goes beyond simple storytelling by providing essential academic context. You will find information regarding the source and provenance of every tale, along with its specific folklore type. This allows for a clear understanding of how these stories relate to folklore types found in China, Japan, and other regions. Whether you are a student of folklore or a reader interested in world mythology, this book provides an unparalleled window into the Korean spirit.
