Abstract

In this paper, I analyzed essays on landscapes written by Oh Won. He had lived during the King Youngjo era, in the late Chosun dynasty. While he inherited the tradition of former writers, he tried to show his originality through writing essays on landscapes. Among his 14 essays, I took special note of an article named Diary after travelling Keumkang mountain(遊楓嶽日記). He wrote it just after the expiration of the period of mourning. Because the creation background was unique, and the view of landscape sightseeing was also individual. Researches on essays on landscapes are leaning on the side of literary sketches. Though we can catch the literary value and unusual view from it, we cannot reconstitute the literary aspects in its entirety if we don't concentrate concerns about general writing style. For this reason, I analyzed Oh Won's essays on landscapes as it represent such style. I hope this would help explain the aspects of writing style in the period of late Chosun.
