Korean History: A Bibliography
University of Hawaii, Honolulu, USA
Self-description:
"This [English-language publications - ed.] bibliography covers [...]
not only political, diplomatic, and economic history, but also
historical linguistics, art history, literature, philosophy and
religion, and overseas Koreans [..]. Chronologically, coverage
concludes in the 1960s. For studies of South Korea's politics and
economy, 1961 is the stopping point; for South Korean foreign
relations, coverage continues through the 1965 treaty with Japan and
the Vietnam War. Coverage of North Korea continues into the late
1960s. I have not sought to compile a comprehensive list for each
subject. Rather, I have provided publications that have appeared since
the publication in 1980 of the annotated bibliography 'Studies on
Korea: A Scholar's Guide' and recent publications not cited in that
work. This bibliography, then, is both an updating of and a supplement
to that venerable reference."
Supplied note: "We hope that 30 months worth of new publications and
oversights will be uploaded soon.
-- K.R. Robinson."
