“Lyrical Translation: The Creation of Modern Poetry in Colonial Korea”

November 5, 4:00pm - 5:00pm
Mānoa Campus, Center for Korean Studies Auditorium,1881 East-West Road, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822

This talk will introduce and discuss Lyrical Translation, a new monograph about Korean poetry. The book is a literary history of modern Korean poetry's origins and its development through translation. Drawing on a vast collection of primary materials in Korean and Japanese, David Krolikoski situates close readings of major poems against critical writing (editorials, essays, and articles) from the period. His discussion of translation illuminates the ways writers crossed linguistic and cultural boundaries in pursuit of a new idiom of verse. David Krolikoski is associate professor of Korean literature at the Ƶ at ԴDz. His scholarship and translations have appeared in Japanese Language and Literature, Azalea: Journal of Korean Literature & Culture, The Routledge Companion of Korean Literature, and Hyŏndae sihak, among other venues.
