Jackson School of International Studies 520 2 $a "This collection presents and analyzes inquest records that tell the stories of ordinary Korean people under the ChosoÌn court (1392-1910). Extending the study of this period, usually limited to elites, into the realm of everyday life, each inquest record includes a detailed postmortem examination and features testimony from everyone directly or indirectly related to the incident. The result is an amazingly vivid, colloquial account of the vibrant, multifaceted societal and legal cultures of early modern Korea. Sun Joo Kim is the Harvard-Yenching Professor of Korean History at Harvard University. Jungwon Kim is assistant professor of Korean history at Columbia University; 'This book provides an extremely rare view into social interactions among people of quite different classes in ChosoÌn Korea. Points of interest abound'--Robert E. Hegel, Washington University, St. Louis; 'This is an important contribution that significantly advances our knowledge of nineteenth-century Korean legal history. The translated cases shine by being able to introduce daily struggles of non-elites and illustrate the complex dynamics of the judiciary system during the last century of the ChosoÌn dynasty'--Jisoo Kim, George Washington University"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Map of Nineteenth-Century Korea -- Introduction: ChosoÌn Korea in Its Last Century -- Case 1: An Adulterous Widower Meets a Violent Death, Yang Hang-nyoÌn (P'yoÌngyang, P'yoÌngan Province, 1866) -- Case 2: A Family Activist Confronts a Local Magnate, Ms. Pak (Yongin, KyoÌnggi Province, Late Eighteenth Century) -- Case 3: A Defiant Slave Challenges His Master with Death, Yi Pong-dol (Anoi, KyoÌngsang Province, 1842) -- Case 4: Two Widows Fight, Madam Chang and Ms. On (Yech'oÌn, KyoÌngsang Province, 1842) -- Case 5: A Heartless Wet Nurse Abuses an Infant, Mun Chong-ji (Chunghwa, P'yoÌngan Province, 1866) -- Case 6: A Widower Seeks Private Settlement, Ms. ChoÌng (YoÌngchÊ»oÌn, KyoÌngsang Province, 1889) -- Case 7: Adultery Leads to Murder, Ms. Paek (Anak, Hwanghae Province, 1897) -- Case 8: An Illegal Burial Begets a Son but Kills a Relative, Kim Kap-san (Hoeyang, KangwoÌn Province, 1899) -- Glossary. 651 0 $a Korea $x History $y ChosoÌn dynasty, 1392-1910 $v Sources. 651 0 $a Korea $x Social conditions $y 1392-1910 $v Sources. 650 0 $a Wrongful death $z Korea $x History $y 19th century $v Sources. 650 0 $a Court records $z Korea. 650 0 $a Courts $z Korea $x History $y 19th century $v Sources. 650 0 $a Law $x History $z Korea $x History $y 19th century $v Sources. 650 0 $a Social classes $z Korea $x History $y 19th century $v Sources. 650 7 $a HISTORY $z Asia $x Korea. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $x 19th Century. $x 19th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Court records. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00881677 650 7 $a Courts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00881747 650 7 $a Law $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993813 650 7 $a Social classes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122346 650 7 $a Social history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122498 650 7 $a Wrongful death. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01181725 651 7 $a Korea. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206434 648 7 $a 1392 - 1910 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Sources. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423900 700 1 $a Kim, Sun Joo, $d 1962- 700 1 $a Kim, Jungwon. 830 0 $a Korean studies of the Henry M.
