This book is an anthology of Oral Literature (gubi munhak) in accurate and readable translation for the first time. It brings together a rich selection of Korean oral literature and representative works from myths, legends, folktales, classical archival records, folk songs, shamanist narrative songs, pansori, and folk drama. These genres and forms each play important roles in Korean literature respectively. For example, folklore has four essential functions: it enables humans to escape from their stress, geographical environment, and/or their own biological limitations into a world of fantasy; it validates culture; it serves as a pedagogic device; and it encourages conformity to accepted patterns of behavior. Through the specific explanations, rich background information and interesting stories, common readers and scholars can develop a deeper understanding of the oral literature of Korea.This book was complied by Seo Dae-seok, who is a professor of Korean literature at Seoul National University and was edited by Peter H. Lee, a professor of Korean and Comparative Literature at the University of California, Los Angeles. They are also the authors of several books on Korean poetry, Korean myths, and so on. |
