The Cambridge History of Korea is a forthcoming series of books to be published by Cambridge University Press (CUP) surveying the history of Korea in four separate volumes from prehistory to the 21st century, and is anticipated to be released sometime in 2020.[1] According to series editor Donald Baker, the series will aim to be broad, accurate, and up to date, providing both a thorough survey of Korean history as well as comparative perspective of Korea's relationship with its neighbors.[2]

The first volume will cover Korea's ancient history, and is to be edited by Mark E. Byington. The second volume will cover the Goryeo period, edited by Sem Vermeersch and Remco Breuker. The third volume will cover Joseon, edited by George Kallander, Eugene Y. Park, and Michael Pettid. The fourth volume, covering Korea's modern history, will be edited by Bruce Cumings. The overall series editor will be Donald Baker of the University of British Columbia.[1]

History

Work on the Cambridge History of Korea was originally started in the 1990s by editorship of James Palais, but due to a lack of scholars specialized in the field in English, progress was slow, eventually stopping with his death in 2006 until work on the series was renewed under Donald Baker in 2016.[1]
