The first English-language history of Korea to appear in more
than a decade, this translation offers Western readers a
distillation of the latest and best scholarship on Korean history
and culture from the earliest times to the student revolution of
1960. The most widely read and respected general history, "A New
History of Korea (Han'guksa sillon)" was first published in 1961
and has undergone two major revisions and updatings.
Translated twice into Japanese and currently being translated
into Chinese as well, Professor Lee's work presents a new
periodization of his country's history, based on a fresh analysis
of the changing composition of the leadership elite. The book is
noteworthy, too, for its full and integrated discussion of major
currents in Korea's cultural history. The translation, three years
in preparation, has been done by specialists in the field.
