Duncan (UCLA) uses statistical data from primary sources to challenge the common scholarly view that Korea's Choson dynasty (1392-1910) was established by a new socioeconomic class of scholar-officials who overthrew the capital-based aristocracy of the Koryo dynasty. Instead, Duncan shows that continuity in the structure and composition of the central ruling class was a key feature of the transition. He argues that the main force behind the shift was not revolution, but the need to revamp institutions to protect the interests of the aristocracy. With 26 tables and 10 genealogical charts as well as a lengthy glossary of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese place names, descent groups, and general terms.
