REISSUE OF 1905 (CLASSIC
THE ROMANCE OF THE MILKY^WAY: and Other Studies
and stories, by Lafcadio Hearn. Tuttle 209 pp., $3.25.
Born in the Ionian Islands, June 27, 1850, of a Greek mother
and Irish father, taken in charge by.; a grandaunt at six, when his
parents separated, Lafcadio Heaih attended/Roman /Catholic scho
ols in Normandy and Ireland.
. .
.
;
^Sensitivity-about his small stature, disfigured face and poor
eyesight discouraged him from forming srong personal ties; rootlesshess and bilingualism- encouraged him to become a wanderer.
Unhappy experiences in the schools he attended turned him away
from Itoman Catholicism towards the philosopical speculations that
later were to characterize his writings.
After sojourning in England, he came to America at .19. Be
coming a proofreader in Cincinnati, Ohio, he began translating and
writing articles. Hired by the New Orleans Times-Democrat in 1881, he contributed -translations from French and Spanish, adapted
tales from foreign literature and published stories ' and sketches,
some of his work .also appeared' in magazines. During this period,
too, he sought material in the French West Indies.
In ; 1890, on an assigment -for Harper’s, he went to Japan.
Here he found his spiritual homeland. The Japanese respected his
talent and learning; they overloooked his physical shortcomings. 1
' He had already discovered the work of Herbert Spencer, the
English philosopher who coined the phrase “survival of the fittest”
to describe the principle to evolution and who tried to synthesize
all knowledge. Coming to revere Spencer, Hearn hailed him as the
“greatest mind that this world has ever produced.”
He broke-with Harper’s, took up teaching, married a Japane
se and became a Japanese; citizen under the name. Yakumo Koi
zumi. The challenge of interpreting. Japan to the West evoked his
best efforts’. He had published buch on Japan before he died, at
Okubo, Sept. 26, 1904;
First published in 1905, this volume states in the introduction
that “With the exception of a body of f amiliar letters now in pro-.
ces of collection, the present volume contains all Hearn’s writing
that he left uncollected in the magazines or in manuscript of a sufficient ripeness for .publication." . .” “The seven offerings inclu
ded reflect the life experience of the sensitive, thoughtful wandderer.
Seven 'Stories
.
.
The opening contribution deals with <a legend of Chinese origin,
commemorated in -old japan with a festival on the 7th day of the
,1th month of the lunar calendar. The great god of the firmament
■became . displeased with Ihis daughter, Tanabata, the weaver, and
her husband, Hikoboshi, a/herdsman, because< their love for each
other had caused them to neglect their duties.
_
Tanabata is Vega, the brigthest star in the constellation Lyra.
Hikoboshi is Altair, a first-magnitude star in the
constellation
Aquila.
k
.
' To punish the lovers and to. spur them to greater industry,
the great god put between them1 the heavenly river — the Milky
Way. He permits them to meet, only once a year,, on the night of
the festival.
.
This celestial theme evokes the.-best .of Hearn. To his own. po
etic account and interpretation, he adds prose, translations of so
me ancient poetic comments on these ill-starred lovers, taking the
verses from the Manyoshu — an anthology of Japanese poetry
compiled around A.D. 759.
Three of the other contributions also concern legends: “Gob
lin Poetry,” “The'.Mirror Maiden” and “The Story- of Ito Norisuke.” A fifth contribution concerns a situation Hearn had stumb
led upon in the W^st Indies: A black slave kills his master; to
escape hanging, he gives to his mistress and asks . forgiveness.
She forgives and protects him. What caused, him to seek this un
likely source fo>r aid!? What prompted her to give it?
deals with the essay of that title by
Ultimate Questions
Herbert Spencer. Spencer responds to the question, “But how do
you-feel inregard to-the prospect of .personal • dissolution ?”.
The final contribution, “A Letter From japan,” dated Aug. 1,
1904, describes the situation in Japan during the Russo-Japanese
War.

REISSUE OF 1905 (CLASSIC
THE ROMANCE OF THE MILKY^WAY: and Other Studies
and stories, by Lafcadio Hearn. Tuttle 209 pp., $3.25.
Born in the Ionian Islands, June 27, 1850, of a Greek mother
and Irish father, taken in charge by.; a grandaunt at six, when his
parents separated, Lafcadio Heaih attended/Roman /Catholic scho
ols in Normandy and Ireland.
. .
.
;
^Sensitivity-about his small stature, disfigured face and poor
eyesight discouraged him from forming srong personal ties; rootlesshess and bilingualism- encouraged him to become a wanderer.
Unhappy experiences in the schools he attended turned him away
from Itoman Catholicism towards the philosopical speculations that
later were to characterize his writings.
After sojourning in England, he came to America at .19. Be
coming a proofreader in Cincinnati, Ohio, he began translating and
writing articles. Hired by the New Orleans Times-Democrat in 1881, he contributed -translations from French and Spanish, adapted
tales from foreign literature and published stories ' and sketches,
some of his work .also appeared' in magazines. During this period,
too, he sought material in the French West Indies.
In ; 1890, on an assigment -for Harper’s, he went to Japan.
Here he found his spiritual homeland. The Japanese respected his
talent and learning; they overloooked his physical shortcomings. 1
' He had already discovered the work of Herbert Spencer, the
English philosopher who coined the phrase “survival of the fittest”
to describe the principle to evolution and who tried to synthesize
all knowledge. Coming to revere Spencer, Hearn hailed him as the
“greatest mind that this world has ever produced.”
He broke-with Harper’s, took up teaching, married a Japane
se and became a Japanese; citizen under the name. Yakumo Koi
zumi. The challenge of interpreting. Japan to the West evoked his
best efforts’. He had published buch on Japan before he died, at
Okubo, Sept. 26, 1904;
First published in 1905, this volume states in the introduction
that “With the exception of a body of f amiliar letters now in pro-.
ces of collection, the present volume contains all Hearn’s writing
that he left uncollected in the magazines or in manuscript of a sufficient ripeness for .publication." . .” “The seven offerings inclu
ded reflect the life experience of the sensitive, thoughtful wandderer.
Seven 'Stories
.
.
The opening contribution deals with <a legend of Chinese origin,
commemorated in -old japan with a festival on the 7th day of the
,1th month of the lunar calendar. The great god of the firmament
■became . displeased with Ihis daughter, Tanabata, the weaver, and
her husband, Hikoboshi, a/herdsman, because< their love for each
other had caused them to neglect their duties.
_
Tanabata is Vega, the brigthest star in the constellation Lyra.
Hikoboshi is Altair, a first-magnitude star in the
constellation
Aquila.
k
.
' To punish the lovers and to. spur them to greater industry,
the great god put between them1 the heavenly river — the Milky
Way. He permits them to meet, only once a year,, on the night of
the festival.
.
This celestial theme evokes the.-best .of Hearn. To his own. po
etic account and interpretation, he adds prose, translations of so
me ancient poetic comments on these ill-starred lovers, taking the
verses from the Manyoshu — an anthology of Japanese poetry
compiled around A.D. 759.
Three of the other contributions also concern legends: “Gob
lin Poetry,” “The'.Mirror Maiden” and “The Story- of Ito Norisuke.” A fifth contribution concerns a situation Hearn had stumb
led upon in the W^st Indies: A black slave kills his master; to
escape hanging, he gives to his mistress and asks . forgiveness.
She forgives and protects him. What caused, him to seek this un
likely source fo>r aid!? What prompted her to give it?
deals with the essay of that title by
Ultimate Questions
Herbert Spencer. Spencer responds to the question, “But how do
you-feel inregard to-the prospect of .personal • dissolution ?”.
The final contribution, “A Letter From japan,” dated Aug. 1,
1904, describes the situation in Japan during the Russo-Japanese
War.
