Preface
This book is a revision of a thesis submitted some years ago to the Australian
National University in Canberra as part of the requirements for the degree of
Master of Arts. The thesis, Hanjung nok with Introduction and Annotation, is
housed in the University Library. Those readers who desire a fuller translation
with detailed annotations and appendices are referred to it.
Both Professor A. L. Basham, then Head of the Department of Asian
Civilizations at the Australian National University, and my thesis supervisor Dr
K. H. J. Gardiner encouraged me to rewrite the work and adapt it for the general
reader, and I am grateful to them for their help and guidance.
My most heartfelt thanks are also due to Dr J. Brewster for her great help with
the revision and subsequent composition. I am particularly indebted to her.
Finally, my acknowledgements would not be complete without special
reference to my family. My husband, Ray, gave his constant support and
invaluable co-operation. My children, Daikyu and Mikyung, showed a marked
degree of patience during the preparation of both thesis and book. Without it,
this book could not have been written.
