Canadian-American Review of Hungarian Studies, Vol. IV, No. 2 (Fall 1977)Editor's ForewordIt is difficult to decide in what way appropriate tribute can bepaid to a departed mentor, in this case our journal's HonoraryEditor. We could have planned the publishing of a book ofessays, a kind of belated Festschrift, as an expression of our lastrespects and sorrow. But such an ambitious undertaking wouldhave involved years of preparations and could have strained ourmeagre financial resources. As an alternative we chose to dedicateone of the Review's issues to Watson Kirkconnell's memory,and fill it mainly with essays and reviews fitting for the occasion.Accordingly, in the first part of this issue we feature studies onsubjects that had been dear to Kirkconnell in his lifetime: Hungarianpoetry and verse translation. The exception is the firstarticle which examines the historical significance of Kirkconnell'sliterary and other-than-literary activities as far as Canadians ofHungarian background are concerned.In Part II of this issue we are proud to offer a taste ofKirkconnell's verse translation from Hungarian. Our sample istaken from his rendering of Janos Arany's epic poem, Toldi, intoEnglish. The poem celebrates the exploits of Miklos [Nicholas]Toldi, a Hungarian lad of legendary strength, during the middleages. A complete version of Kirkconnell's translation of Toldiwill be published separately by the Hungarian Readers' Serviceas soon as circumstances permit.The third part of this special issue contains book reviews in thevarious fields of Hungarian studies. Although most of them donot relate to the realm of poetry or literature, it was thought bestto print them in this volume rather than in the spring issue of1978.
