"Korea and Her Neighbors" by Isabella L. Bird is a narrative of travel written in the late 19th century. The book documents Bird's extensive observations and experiences during her travels in Korea, reflecting on the country's recent historical tumult and its interactions with neighboring nations. It offers insights into the culture, geography, and the political climate of Korea at a time of significant transformation. The opening of the narrative introduces the reader to Bird's perspective on Korea through her travels from Japan to its shores. She recounts the challenges of her journey and her initial impressions of the land, characterized by its geographical beauty contrasted with social upheaval. Bird discusses the limited awareness many outsiders have of Korea, emphasizing the country's isolation and unique cultural identity. Alongside her reflections on the nature of Korean society, she hints at deeper political circumstances affecting the nation, including foreign influences and the introduction of Western ideals, setting the stage for her detailed observations in the chapters to come.
