[Korean study series 18]
Through translation and analysis by Lee Younghee, author of Ideology, Culture, and Han: Traditional and Early Modern Korean Women’s Literature, we gain a new appreciation of women’s literature of the Joseon and early modern periods. Lee Younghee suggests that the central unifying theme of Korean women’s literature in these two pivotal historical periods is han, or unresolved resentment. Women who lived during the Joseon period suffered in an oppressive social environment strictly governed by rigidly patriarchal Neo-Confucian precepts, which led to feelings of han. Following Joseon’s collapse. Korean society experienced rapid and profound change, and yet the legacy of centuries of institutionalized patriarchism has endured, thus perpetuating women’s han in a greatly altered and more complex world. While providing us with a rich array of translations of poems, songs, and Kim Myeongsun’s early modern short story “The Suspicious Girl”, Lee Younghee reminds us of the central importance of social context in the creation and understanding of Korean women’s literature. |
