      Course Introduction
      Introduction

      This course introduces various types of precious historical sources from premodern Korea. By reading through and analyzing specific historical manuscripts, such as royal court documents and literati’s writings, students are expected to form a concrete understanding of Korean history. We will give students opportunities to explore the social, economic, and political contexts in which historical actors produced those sources.

      Objectives
      (1) By being introduced to rare historical sources, students will learn the very basic skills of mustering sources and building specific knowledge of the past.
      (2) Students will become familiar with diverse forms and genres of historical sources derived from traditional Korea.
      (3) By encountering the specific examples of such historical actors as kings, literati, women, and slaves, students will be able to develop their own research topics, hypotheses, and theses.
