Life in Corea
Life in Corea is an account of Korea by the British consular official W. R. Carles, published in London and New York by Macmillan in 1888. It covers about 18 months that Carles spent in the country between November 1883 and 1885, first on a private visit and then as British vice-consul. Its longest part follows an overland journey he made from Seoul to the Chinese frontier and the east coast and back between September and November 1884. On that journey Carles saw hemp growing in the hill country of the north and found hempen cloth in its markets and in a provincial tax list. In Seoul he described men in mourning robes of hemp.
Carles wrote as a British consular officer. A 2016 study of the book found that economic information (trade, local products and industries) makes up the largest share of what it records about the country's regions. It argued that his survey served to gather the information Britain needed to work the Anglo-Korean treaty of 1883, within the expansion of British commercial imperialism. The book is read in that double light: as a first-hand account of Korea in the 1880s and as evidence of what a British consular officer was sent to find out there.
Carles writes Corea for Korea and spells places in his own romanisation, such as Soul for Seoul, Phyong-yang for Pyongyang and Gensan for Wonsan. He calls the plant hemp. His passages on it concern its fibre and cloth. read more →
