Abstract
After having completed her graduate studies at Columbia University (PhD in Korean and Chinese History) in 1978 and serving as a researcher at the University of Illinois, Professor JaHyun Kim Haboush joined Professor G. Ledyard as a senior research fellow and lecturer in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Columbia University. Prof. Haboush’s main research field is the history of Chosŏn, with a special focus on the history of politics and thought during the latter period of Chosŏn. She has conducted studies on the monarchy during late Chosŏn, choosing to focus on King Yŏngjo in her first work, <A Heritage of Kings: One Man’s Monarchy in the Confucian World> (1988). This is the work which shall be reviewed in the current study. In addition, Prof. Haboush has shown a keen interest in classic literature, which has led her to carry out the publication of the translated version of <The Memoirs of Lady Hyegyông: The Autobiographical Writings of a Crown Princess of Eighteenth-Century Korea >(1996). Her current areas of interest include themes such as Confucianism and political culture, literature, and gender issues.
