This groundbreaking anthology, edited by the veteran scholar who founded the field of Korean literature in the West, offers a representative selection from the four major genres of native Korean poetry: the Silla songs known as hyangga, Koryo¯ songs, sijo, and kasa. The volume also includes Songs of Flying Dragons, the great eulogy-cycle compiled from 1445–1447. The editor has taken the daring step of including oral literature in a section of old songs and shaman songs at the end of the anthology.
