Résumé / Abstract : Meticulously researched, A History of Korea continues to be one of the leading introductory works on Korean history. Assuming no prior knowledge, Hwang guides readers from early state formation and the dynastic eras to the modern experience in both North and South Korea. Structured around episodic accounts, each chapter begins with a defining moment in a given era and includes a thorough examination of how historical evens and themes have been understood and discussed. The book covers the major events, figures, patterns and debates that have shaped Korea over the past two millennia.
