高麗中期 田園詩 硏究

Abstract

This paper is for extracting the middle Koryo period's tytpical poets' sense of nature and beauty by analyzing their individual landscape poems, and for examining closely its general character. The middle Koryo period, so-called the Soldiers Occupation period (1170-1270), was a time of ordeals to literary men. Surviving men of letters had social and political oppression and frustration in common one another so that they came to face the alienation from power temporarily or permanently. Owing to this, they naturally became familiar with nature. They recognized it as esthetic object, extracted and melted it into their works. The realm of this study is the works of those who worked with landscape living in this period, focusing on such poets as Yi Gyubo(李奎報), Kim keukki(金克己), Yi Inro(李仁老,) and Jin Wha(陳澕). They embodied their internal conflicts in their works which had been interwoven with aspiration for coming into power and realistic resignation as well as self satisfaction and pleasure through experiencing rural life. In the meantime, they not only gave shape to rural beauty on the basis of delicate sense of beauty but also created works full of reality and vitality by sticking to farmer's life, the subject of rural live. The middle Koryo age was a time when writers came to be even more familiar for various political and social elements so that nature tended to be strongly recognized as esthetic object. On this basis, poets were able to grasp rural beauty with a delicate sense and create more forms of pastorals through the course of enlarging the interest in the subject of rural lives.
