[KS] Choson-era broadsheets

[CedarBough T. Saeji]

Michael Kim (Yonsei) does research on early publishing in Korea. This
article (which I read a several years ago and can't remember properly)
should touch on your topic and have a useful bibliography to mine for more
sources:
"Literary Production, Circulating Libraries, and Private Publishing: The
Popular Reception of Vernacular Fiction Texts in the Late Choson Dynasty,"
Journal of Korean Studies, volume 9, Nov.2004, Stanford University
Professor Kim certainly taught several classes related to information
circulation, broadsheets and early newspapers in Korea when I had a class
with him in 2005.
