The “Other History” of the Chewang un’gi
One of the rare epic poems in the history of Korean literature, the Chewang un’gi, completed by Yi Sŭnghyu in 1287, remained a work never translated in the West till 2022 and little known in Korea itself.

Play a Trick and Get a Queen
The issue of trickster in old Korean literature has yet to be discussed in a broadly comparative way in a scientific context. Using a structuralist approach, this article addresses the anthropological theme of the “divine trickster” in some stories from ancient Korea and the ancient West. In particular, by examining three famous episodes from Korean folklore alongside three cases from Western fantastic literature, this article investigates the st…
