The Memoirs of Lady Hyegyôn (Madame Hong) known as Hanjungnok is viewed not only as a great literary masterpiece, but also as an invaluable historical document. The full text of The Memoirs consists of six narratives compiled in four volumes written in 1795, 1801, 1802 and 1805. It is much more than a description of filicide, however. Of the four memoirs, only the last part is devoted to that event, first three parts focus on the Madame Hong and the lives of people other than the central characters in the incident.
