Summary:

"Korean Sinitic Poetry from Ancient Times to 1945: Si in the East offers a ground-breaking introduction to the oral performative aspect of Korean Sinitic poetry (hansi). The anthology introduces 51 representative works of Korean Sinitic poetry from the 9th to early 20th century including 9 by women poets. Each poem is discussed with ample notes on allusions and expressions, sounds and verbal glossing (hynt'o), and commentaries that look beyond the geographical boundary of Korea. Overview essays offer cultural and literary history in a broader East Asian context, and detailed linguistic guides emphasize the musicality and orality of this treasured literary tradition"-- Provided by publisher.
