From 1795 until 1805 Lady Hyegyong composed this masterpiece, depicting a court life Shakespearean in its pathos, drama, and grandeur. Presented in its social, cultural, and historical contexts, this first complete English translation opens a door into a world teeming with conflicting passions, political intrigue, and the daily preoccupations of a deeply intelligent and articulate woman. JaHyun Kim Haboush's accurate, fluid translation captures the intimate and expressive voice of this consummate storyteller. Reissued nearly twenty years after its initial publication with a new foreword by Dorothy Ko, The Memoirs of Lady Hyegyong is a unique exploration of Korean selfhood and an extraordinary example of autobiography in the premodern era.Civilization, Modern18th centuryPrincessesKoreaBiographyKoreaKings and rulersKoreaHistory1637-1864asian history.autobiographical writing.changgyeong palace.chilling murder.confinement.crown prince sado.crown princess.cultural context.dynasty of korea.english translation.execution.historical context.historical.husband.hyegyeong.joseon dynasty.king jeongjo.king yeongjo.korean history.korean literature.korean noblewoman.korean selfhood.korean writer.manuscript.memoir.politics.premodern era.queen heongyeong.records written in silence.royalty.social context.violent madness.Civilization, ModernPrincesses951.9/02/092 BHyegyŏngLady.1473943Haboush JaHyun Kim636902Ko Dorothy638570MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790419603321The memoirs of Lady Hyegyŏng3687335UNINA
