As little as 15 or so years ago, any new foreigner in Korea was told the story of Chunhyang, and several times over. Even now it is considered the country's "favorite" and most "representative" of tales, the ability to recite the plot being something of a requirement for tribal membership. Then there's the novel A Nine Cloud Dream by Kim Manjung (1637~1692), perhaps the finest of all pre-modern Korean novels. Both these essential classics were translated in the seventies by Richard Rutt and published in Virtuous Women, which also includes The True Story of Queen Inhyon, a classic work of Joseon "palace literature," and translated by Kim Chong-un. Consider this collection required reading if you are at all interested in Korean literature, history, or women's studies.
