Haryung Kim,

I’d be happy to recieve anything you have on Lee Yuk-sa, and I see we are pretty much in agreement on the Wikipedia. Naver and Daum (and the Korea Wikipedia, if any Koreans actually use it?) may have plenty of literary information, but unless it gets into the English Wikipedia, it will never hit the English-language readers…

It is so obvious that Wikipedia is one of the sources that frequently and internationally used. Even the very start of my European history paper was an article from Wikipedia, and most ways of my paper was determined from Wikipedia. On the other hand Wikipedia is not commonly used in Korea and this would be the reason of lacking articles about Korean literature. However, since this would be one of the most basic step to publicize Korean literature globally, this kind of efforts were needed. Once I researched about Kenjimonogatari(The Tale of Genji), a japanese novel with large volumes, to write a short comparative literature paper by comparing it with Kuunmong(Nine Cloud’s Dreams), and surprised with affluent explanation on Wikipedia. English article about it was composed of several categories, while Japanese article was much longer and detailed. Not only article about the novel, but about its writer, Murasaki Shikibu, information was much more approachable. Feeling that I realized this lack of reachable information related to Korean literature too late, but still meaningful to create pages to offer information.

What a great project! I’ll be willing to participate, at least one page about Lee Yuk-sa, my favorite.

I figured he had moved onto prose aswell.

I first came across him when I was in my grandparents caravan where I found a collection of poems he had translated and had given to my grandfather. The copy was signed aswell. I meant to bring it to Korea but I think I left it at home…
