During his time in Korea, Gale developed into the foremost Western scholar of Korean history, language, and literature, completing the first translation of Korean literature into a Western language, the first translation of English literature into Korean, and the first comprehensive Korean-English dictionary. In addition to these translations, the typescripts entitled \u003ci\u003ePen Pictures of Old Korea\u003c\/i\u003e (ca. 1910) and \u003ci\u003eOld Corea\u003c\/i\u003e (ca. 1925), each presented here with introductory essays, contain Gale\u0026amp;#x2019;s observations of various cultural artifacts, behaviours, and practices.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGale lived in Korea during a tumultuous and transformative period that witnessed the transition of the country from a \"hermit\" suzerain kingdom to an independent empire, and finally to a colonial possession of Japan. \u003ci\u003ePen Pictures of Old Korea\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOld Corea\u003c\/i\u003e preserve what Gale viewed as inevitably fated for extinction. This realization imbues his writings with a sense of ambivalence towards the \"passing\" of traditional Korea – owing to the conflict between his profound admiration for pre-modern Korean culture and his Western missionary identity, which demanded that the country adapt to a modern, Christian world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeries Preface\u003cbr\u003eIllustrations\u003cbr\u003eTables\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart I: Pen Pictures of Old Korea\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKorean Songs and Verses\u003cbr\u003eEternal Life\u003cbr\u003eTobacco in Korea\u003cbr\u003eConcerning the Occult\u003cbr\u003eA Note of Warning\u003cbr\u003eOn and Off the Street Car\u003cbr\u003eA Sample of Korean Labour Song\u003cbr\u003eMarriage in Korea\u003cbr\u003ePak\u0026amp;#x2019;s Experiences\u003cbr\u003eThe Mystery of It\u003cbr\u003eThe Family Line\u003cbr\u003eKorea\u0026amp;#x2019;s Electric Shocks\u003cbr\u003e\"Broken Earthenware\"\u003cbr\u003eUnconscious Korea \u003cbr\u003eKorean Literature \u003cbr\u003eA New Style of Courtship\u003cbr\u003eKorea\u0026amp;#x2019;s Receding Pantheon\u003cbr\u003eStone Fights\u003cbr\u003eStanding for One\u0026amp;#x2019;s Rights \u003cbr\u003eThat Old Dragon \u003cbr\u003eHappy Yi\u003cbr\u003eMy Lord the Elephant\u003cbr\u003eThe Displeasure of the Rain God \u003cbr\u003eKorean New Year\u0026amp;#x2019;s \u003cbr\u003eThe Korean Woman \u003cbr\u003eKorea\u0026amp;#x2019;s Preparation for the Bible \u003cbr\u003eThe Waning Eunuch \u003cbr\u003eA Freak of Language \u003cbr\u003eAn Affair of State \u003cbr\u003ePrivate Minting \u003cbr\u003eA New Korean \u003cbr\u003eThe Burning of the Temple \u003cbr\u003eA Royal Funeral \u003cbr\u003eBelong Small Boxer \u003cbr\u003eThe Foreign Squeezer \u003cbr\u003eThe Awful Kim \u003cbr\u003eExit Kim \u003cbr\u003eThe Opening of War \u003cbr\u003eProspective \u003cbr\u003eAll Good Things Are Three \u003cbr\u003eJapan\u0026amp;#x2019;s Task in Korea \u003cbr\u003eWhere Are We?
