조지훈 초기시의 혼재 양상 연구

Abstract

Jo Ji-hun, who was an ethnic traditionist, sought after the poetic innocence representing lyric sentiments and the intellectual’s modesty. His poetic achievements, however, imply a significant variety of aspects in addition to this spectrum during the 1930’s and the 1940’s. Above all, it can be captured that he positively accepted the rapid changes in modern times, writing the draft verses representing westernized emotions which had been excluded in the history of Korean literature. Besides, his works that were inspired by the conflicts and split self-awareness as a colonial intellectual led to the wider spectrum of his poetry. Next, classic sense of beauty and korean aesthetics of nature have dramatically been depicted in the early works since his literary debut. He was a man strictly hardening himself for a social duty as an intellectual and poet. As the result, the speedily changing trend of poetry at that time could be the outcome of struggling to get out of the colonial situation actively. Likewise, as a poet is a human being making efforts in the altering lives and circumstances, the decision of a poetic identity should profoundly be made through the studies at the various levels.
