| Publisher Description: This volume introduces the full gamut of the classical genres, including hanshi (poems in Chinese characters), hyangga and Koryo kayo (the earliest Korean vernacular forms), and shijo and kasa (the vernacular verse forms of the Choson dynasty), which modern scholars believe best represent Korean sensibility. |
