Slightly different is the case of Yi NUngu's Kungmunhak Korean Literature" (1954 and 1955). Yi Nungu is one of Koreans who has seen the collections described below in cated to be indicated briefly at every mention of it. Kim Kidong gives as the source of some of his information Uri Omunhak hoe, compiled: kaeron, "A Survey of Korean Literature", published, he reports, by -S<:1ltlUiS Usongdang Sojom, presumably in Seoul, in 1949. I have been given to understand that some of the compilers of this work went to North because they carry full texts, but of the hundreds of articles read, I have listed only the few which give factual information on story or text which is not available elsewhere, or which reprint a text. The articles which are not listed tend to be critical assessments of the better known stories.
