The Moonlit Pond - Korean Classical Poems in Chinese

Unlike poetry written in the vernacular, classical Korean poetry was heavily influenced by the great poets of the Tang and Sung dynasties and was written in Chinese, while reflecting a perspective which was uniquely Korean. Gathering poets from the ninth century through the nineteenth, this is the first and only comprehensive anthology of classical Korean poetry to appear in English.
