Park's annotated translation of a long-awaited book by Kim Ingeol introduces Anglophone readers to a path-breaking scholarship on the widening social base of political actors who shaped \"public opinion\" (\u003ci\u003ekongnon\u003c\/i\u003e) in early modern Korea. Initially limited to high officials, the articulators of public opinion as the state and elites recognized grew in number to include mid-level civil officials, State Confucian College students, all Confucian literati (\u003ci\u003eyurim\u003c\/i\u003e), influential commoners who took over local councils (\u003ci\u003ehyanghoe\u003c\/i\u003e), and the general population. Marshaling evidence from a wealth of documents, Kim presents a compelling case for the indigenous origins of Korean democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKim Ingeol\u003c\/b\u003e, Ph.D., Seoul National University, is a Professor Emeritus of Korean History at his alma mater.
