Winner of the 2014 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award Everyday
Life in Joseon-Era Korea shows how the momentous changes of the
time transformed the lives of the common people. In twenty-three
concise chapters, the book covers topics ranging from agriculture,
commerce, and mining to education, marriage, and food culture. It
examines how both the spread of Neo-Confucianism in the early
Joseon period and its decline from the seventeenth century impacted
economic and social life. The book also demonstrates that much of
what is thought of as ancient Korean tradition actually developed
in the Joseon period. Chapters in this book discuss how customs
such as ancestor worship, the use of genealogies, and foods such as
kimchi all originated or became widespread in this era.
