It was! I couldn't quite repeat the feat today, but there's always tomorrow.
The McCann volume has weirdly imbalanced mini-introductions for the pieces included, so if things don't quite make sense or seem to be missing, it Isn't You. His translations do tend to be fairly good, I'm told.
Thank you. This actually very useful for me to know, since McCann is going to be my introduction to early Korean literature, unless you count some random sijo and Chunhyang. Do you have anyone you'd recommend for overview and background instead?
