ABSTRACT

The actual writing of Jo Yunjae's Essential History of Korean poetry in premodern period was performed with the consciousness of three aspects as below; Firstly, the formal characteristic of poetry genre, Secondly, the relationship of indigenous and foreign cultures, and thirdly, the connection between poetry and music. Those three issues are fatal for a historiography of poetry, yet Jo Yunjae hardly developed the systematic frame to cover those three at the same time. That is the reason that Essential History of Korean poetry in premodern period has been somewhat underestimated as an inconsistent research. However, the consciousness itself for basic factors to foreground a poetry historiography is worthy of reconsideration. Jo Yunjae raised unavoidable issues for anyone to map out a history of Korean poetry, and it is important enough as it is. Taking the circumstances where next generation's scholars had been trying to solve problems into consideration, we could guess at his strong influence over academic field of Korean literary history.
