Kinship Novels of Early Modern Korea: Between Genealogical Time and the Domestic Everyday

Kinship Novels of Early Modern Korea: Between Genealogical Time and the Domestic Everyday Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/journal-of-korean-studies/article-pdf/28/1/193/1856385/193park.pdf by DEEPDYVE INC user on 12 May 2023 Book Reviews Kinship Novels of Early Modern Korea: Between Genealogical Time and the Domestic Everyday by Ksenia Chizhova. New York: Columbia University Press, 2021. 288 pp. $35.00 (paper). Kinship Novels of Early Modern Korea is the first English-language study of Ko- rean lineage novels, lengthy fictional narratives written in vernacular Korean, that flourished from the late seventeenth century through the early twentieth century. The lineage novel is not easily accessible for general readers in Korea today, pri- marily because of the sheer number of volumes, sometimes exceeding one hun- dred per work. Ksenia Chizhova, however, succeeds in demonstrating the histor- ical and cultural significance of the lineage novel in the broad context of the kinship culture of early modern Korea. She suggests Korean patrilineal kinship was not only a social structure but also a process that was constantly in the making through aesthetic and textual reiterations. The lineage novel for its part represents textual practices that give expressions to the affective dimension of kinship. Chiz- hova strategically explores six representative examples of the lineage novel: The Pledge at the Banquet of Moon-Gazing Pavilion (Wanwŏl hoemaeng yŏn 玩月會 盟宴), http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Korean Studies Duke University Press
