Abstract

Chuanchi, a kind of the early narrative, is an unique genre which prose and poetry were exquisitely mixed in. It is more significant that Chuanchi as a narrative genre also shows lyrical beauty. In this paper, I kept an eye on this to use it as a barometer of formalization of the early romance and its narrative contexture. The subjects of this study are Choi, Chiwon(崔致遠－one of Chuanchi novels of the late Shila and the early Koryo), Geomo-shinwha(金鰲新話), Zusaeng-jeon(周生傳:The love story of Mr. Zu), and Woonyoung-jeon(雲英傳:The love story of Miss Woonyoung). Poems interposed in these early romances show an esthetic sense of moderation and internalization, having the tragic beauty basically. By the way, the function of these poems interposed in early Chuanchi had changed little by little, and sometimes their roles were limited to create the character of a protagonist. Even in this case they greatly contribute to the infinite suggestion of the end and tragic feeling. Their roles like this, however, show a tendency to weakening as time goes by. This is considerably related to a transfiguration of Chuanchi. It shows that a romance had eliminated lyric characteristics, consolidating narrative characteristics, and then had been transfigured into the form of a modern novel. I think that formalization of the early romance and its transfiguration should be examined in relation to the function of these poems interposed in Chuanchi.
