The eighteenth-century Korean ruler Yongjo, one of that country's most illustrious yet most tragic rulers, is a fascinating example of the Neo-Confucian sage kingship. In this book, JaHyun Kim Haboush provides an outstanding, dramatically realized introduction to traditional Korean culture through the story of Yongjo, and offers profound insights into the complex interplay between Confucian rhetoric and the politics of the Yi monarchy. Haboush focuses on the deteriorating relationship between Yongjo and his only son, Crown Prince Sado, and relates the agonizing choices the Confucian ruler was forced to make between saving either his son or his dynasty. Originally published as A Heritage of Kings, this paperback edition contains a new preface reflecting new discoveries and updated scholarship in the field.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: JaHyun Kim Haboush, Jahyun Kim HaboushGenre: BiographyTopic: Society & Culture, HistoryBook Series: Studies in Asian CultureType: Communication StudiesItem Weight: 1.12 poundsgRelease Year: 2001 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
