What lay behind the painted screens, silk robes, and impeccable bows of the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897)? This book takes you on a fascinating journey into the private lives of Korean nobility. The author explores how aristocrats lived and entertained, why the image of the "noble husband" became the ideal of the era, and the role played by courtesans, nannies, and even dogs and roosters. She also explores the roles of women at court, love affairs, and family tragedies.
