This course introduces a general history of Korea from the earliest records of Korean civilization through to the present. The organization of the course is basically chronological, but within that framework we will be approaching Korea from a wide range of viewpoints, taking up political, economic, social, religious, philosophical, and artistic developments. We will also examine changes in Korea’s relationship to East Asia and the larger globe. We will read both primary and secondary texts, including literature, narrative story, and documentary materials.
