The Aftermath of the Imjin War in Early Modern East Asia

494 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Imjin War - Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasions of Korea - was one of the largest conflicts of the sixteenth century world, entangling Korea, Japan, and China between 1592 and 1598. This is the first volume-length study to address the long-term significance of the war by focusing on the social, technological, environmental, demographic, and administrative implications of the conflict in the seventeenth century and beyond. Heretofore, studies have mainly looked at diplomatic, political, and literary impacts, but this volume raises world historical comparative questions about the nature of "early modernity" and advances debates on war legacy in the East Asian context.
