[KS] Kisaeng

[Sunjoo Kim]

Dear all,

The following "Korean History: A Bibliography" compiled by Dr. Ken Robinson 
is quite comprehensive and up-to-date. I searched this website, which 
produced two short pieces on kisaeng, that have not yet been posted to the 
list.

http://www.hawaii.edu/korea/bibliography/biblio.htm

Lee, Byong Won. "Evolution of the Role and Status of Korean Professional 
Female Entertainers (Kisaeng)." World of Music 21:2 (1979): 75-81.

McCann, David R. "Traditional World of Kisaeng." Korea Journal 14:2 
(February 1974): 40-43.

Best,

By coincidence i happened to have, in my lap, at this very moment:

Song of Kisaeng

But i am sure your student could learn a lot more by going to that fun 
library

people.
