Korea has long had an underground insurrectionary literature. The best-known example of the genre is the Chng Kam nok, a collection of premodern texts predicting the overthrow of the Yi Dynasty. In his introduction to this first English translation, John Jorgensen notes that the work employs forms or codes of political prediction allied with Chinese geomancy but in a combination unique to Korea.
