ABSTRACT

This thesis examines the poems of Yun Je-gyu (尹濟奎, 1810–1879), who argued that poetry plays a role in describing the landscape of its time. His poems thus deal with specific aspects of life, such as changing landscapes, small scenes of everyday life, and folk customs. In these poems, he sometimes attached a wealth of footnotes to provide relevant information to the reader. Moreover , love between a man and a woman is an important theme of his poetry, set in a concrete space and taking a realistic form. He sometimes does not follow traditional versification in describing concrete and realistic landscapes. It is noteworthy that the utilization of ordinary language, self-appreciation, and response poetry show a new aspect of late Chosun Dynasty poetry. His also exhibit trivial and popular features. While these characteristics are limitations of Yun Je-gyu’s poetry, they can be understood as reflecting an aspect of 19th century poetry in which the traditional centripetal force no longer works.
