Yi Kyubo (1168\u20131241) was the foremost writer and poet of the Kory\u014F dynasty (918\u20131392). Not Everything Unfolds as Anticipated is a miscellany of work from his Tongguk Yi Sangguk chip, a collection containing more than two thousand texts and considered the earliest substantial oeuvre of a Kory\u014F writer to date. The present work comprises translations of poems, tales, letters, epitaphs, and funeral orations, as well as \""The Cantefable of King Tongmy\u014Fng,\"" Yi\u2019s famous poem chronicling Kory\u014F\u2019s mythological past. Also included are forewords and afterwords to books no longer extant that shed light on the intellectual, literary, and printing habits of the time. \n Yi is best remembered as a literary figure, but for much of his career, he served as a composer of official government texts.
