INTRODUCTION
The main body of this thesis is a translation with notes
from the Hanjung n o k , an autobiographical memoir which gives an
account of Court life in the time of King Yongjo
(r. 1725-1176)
of the Yi dynasty, and a touching description of the tragic
incidents involving her family by Lady Hong of the Kyegyong
Palace
(1725-1815).
She was the daughter of Hong Pong-han
(1713-1778), daughter-in-law of King YSngjo, and consort of the
heir apparent Crown Prince Sado
Chongjo
1834) .
In order to set the scene for the memoir, a series of
brief accounts will be given of the official system, land
tenure system,
social structure, political groupings, cultural
King Yongjo, his
(1735-1762), mother of King
(r. 1800-
(r. 1776-1800) and grandmother of King Sunjo
and intellectual currents of the Yi dynasty.
grandson King Chongjo, Lady Hong and the Imo Incident will then
be described in some detail, as more directly relevant to the
translation.
Finally, the place of Lady Hong's memoir in
Korean Literary History and the derivation of the text will be
discussed.
Since the action takes place entirely at the Court of
King Yongjo, the accounts of Korean life given in this
introduction concentrate upon the Korean royal family and
nobility, and must omit the very important developments taking
place at this time in the economic and social life of the
people as a whole.
