Riassunto

Explores what it means to be modern and what it means to be Korean in a culture where courtship and marriage are often the crucible in which notions of gender and class are cast and recast. Focusing on many important issues, this work offers us a fresh appreciation for how Koreans have adapted this pivotal social practice.
