Biographical writing has been central to the historiographic traditions of the Confucian cultures of East Asia for more than two thousand years. This book makes important contributions to this growing field and will be a most welcome addition to the body of scholarly literature.? -Kenneth Hammond, Professor of History, New Mexico State University, USA This edited collection is composed of four uniquely authored chapters, each of which examines collective identity in early modern East Asia through biography and historical accounts. In addition, an introductory chapter lays out the overall principles and concerns of biography in Early Modern East Asia. The book covers five civilizations (China, Japan, Ry?ky? Kingdom, and Vietnam) while also touching on relations among these civilizations. This volume considers how biographies or life stories can help us better understand these civilizations. Each contributor explores shared concerns about biography, writing, group and individual identity, and the implications of these on the overall genre of biography in East Asia in the early modern period. Ihor Pidhainy is a Lecturer in the Department of History and Geography at Georgia Gwinnett College, USA. Ann Waltner is Professor in the Department of History at the University of Minnesota, USA. 410 0$aHistory Series 606 $aSoutheast Asia$xHistory 606 $aChina$xHistory 606 $aJapan$xHistory 606 $aKorea$xHistory 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aOriental literature 606 $aHistory of Southeast Asia 606 $aHistory of China 606 $aHistory of Japan 606 $aHistory of Korea 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aAsian Literature 615 0$aSoutheast Asia$xHistory. 615 0$aChina$xHistory. 615 0$aJapan$xHistory. 615 0$aKorea$xHistory. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aOriental literature. 615 14$aHistory of Southeast Asia. 615 24$aHistory of China. 615 24$aHistory of Japan. 615 24$aHistory of Korea. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aAsian Literature. 676 $a808.06692 700 $aPidhainy$b Ihor$01848179 701 $aPidhainy$01885279 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911049161903321 996 $aBiographical Traditions in Early Modern East Asia, 1500-1900$94520432 997 $aUNINA
