We are happy that we could read again two essays by senior scholars: one is “Yeats as a Philosopher” by G. S. Fraser, who knew well all major poets of 20th century, including Yeats, Eliot, and Pound: a talk he gave to the Oxford Poetry Society in about 1965. Enjoy being with one of the most brilliant minds in the 20th century; the other is “The Topography of Yeats’s Poetry” by Kim Jong Gil; he is a good poet himself, and shows us how to read a great poet, like Yeats, who makes facts poetically true: a place in a poem is more than mere fact. Two essays, “From Roots to Routes: W. B. Yeats and World Literature” by Seongho Yoon and “‘Lapis Luzuli’ as Radiator of Chinese Culture: Chinese Landscape Painting and the Toaist” seem very useful and interesting: Yoon demonstrates that world literature is to enrich international literatures: Yeats is a good example; Zhang Yuejun and Zhou Dan say that Yeats may have been influenced by Chinese culture and painting, which seems relevant, as this particular poem was based on an actual Lapis Lazuli landscape. In this issue a total of 16 essays discuss a variety of topics. Of these, two talk about Yeats’s plays: Young Suck Rhee’s on The Unicorns from the Stars, which claims that the play deserves a better treatment as a good play; Joon Seog Ko’s “The Absence of Middle Way and Tragic Love in Sophocles’s Women of Trachis” discusses the importance of keeping the middle way in life. The rest of the authors treat various subjects: Hiroko Ikeda compares On Baile’s Strand and an Irish legend; Chang-gyu Seong treats the problem of absence in Sooyoung Kim and Seamus Heaney; Kyu-Myung Lee talks about Yeats and Žižek’s vision of presence; Hanmook Lee analyzes sound and sense in Yeats; Hong-pil Lee studies the Noh in Yeats; Jung-Myung Cho discusses the significance of dream in Yeats’s poetry; Hie Sup Choi writes on Yeats’s war poetry; Tae Ho Han’s essay is on Yeats’s low mysticism from the view point of Zen poetics; Sung Sook Hong searches for Sweeneys in Heaney’s poetry; Young Suck Rhee reviews Alexaner Bubb’s new book, Meeting without Knowing. All of this issue’s 16 essays deserve attention. Yeats scholars will, I hope, find each of them interesting and informative, each of them adding up to the enrichment of Yeats studies.
