A Cultural History of Modern Korean Literature: The Birth of Oppa explores the cultural and social impact of Japanese colonialism and modernity on Korean society. Selected as an outstanding work by the National Academy of Sciences in South Korea in 2004, the book is a remarkable achievement. Lee examines a wide range of literary and cultural texts, exploring significant historical moments and phenomena while critically assessing personal experience and social life, particularly how modernity, colonialism, and total war shaped national and cultural identities. The text also reflects the complex and refractory legacy of Japanese colonialism and modernity. Lee's foray into the complex relationships between Korea, Japan, and the West offers a thoroughly engaging study of the origins of modern Korean culture and society during the first half of the 20th century. The first of its kind, Lee offers a richly vivid portrait of a rapidly changing landscape, fueled by modernity and technology, that will appeal to general readers and students alike.
