Beginning with the Korean  version of the King Midas and  his ass’s ears tale in the Silla dynasty,  it moves on to discuss \u003ci\u003eEwa\u003c\/i\u003e,  what might be called the first  missionary novel about Korea written by a  Western missionary W. Arthur  Noble. The book also considers the extent  to which in writing fiction  and essays Jack London gained grist for his  writing from his experience  in Korea as a Russo-Japanese War  correspondent. In addition, the book  explores how modern Korean poetry,  fiction, and drama, despite  differences in time and space, have actively  engaged with Western  counterparts. Based on World Literature, which has  gained slow but  prominent popularity all over the world, this book  argues that Korean  literature deserves to be part of the Commonwealth of  Letters.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-08-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789811387296\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-13-8727-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 272\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47527044645004,"sku":"9789811387296","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789811387296.jpg?v=1776038074","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789811387296","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
