In evaluating literary works, one must consider the evaluation of the author's thought contained within the work-that is, the theme-and the evaluation of the author's ability-that is, technique. The theme must be sound and original, and the realization of this theme must be achieved satisfactorily in order for the work to be excellent. Also important, though, is the insight and capability of the judge, who must be able to properly grasp the work's theme and accurately determine how well the theme is realized in the work. The task of evaluating literary works can ultimately be said to depend on the literary views of critics. In the case of fictional works, there are various methods of realizing the theme. Satirical fiction, for example, introduces a negative character as the protagonist and makes paradoxical claims. Fiction portrays human life in three dimensions, and thus, if it is to successfully manifest its theme, must contain description of the personalities or psyches of the characters, description of the social situation, and the elaborate structural techniques required to connect events. This sort of technique of realization depends on the ability of the author. In order to fairly evaluate a work of fiction, a proper understanding of the work must come first. In the case of classical novels, The Tale of Hong Gildong was highly evaluated as a masterpiece that is filled with the author's innovative thought. However, an analysis of the work reveals that the theme is the idea that capable individuals can always succeeded, unhindered by the system. Also revealed is the author's lack of skill in realizing this theme. In this regard, the evaluation of The Tale of Hong Gildong must be rethought. On the other hand, A Dream of Nine Clouds is a work that shows exceptional skill on the part of the author. The work may be evaluated as a masterpiece in that the author delves deep into the problem of human existence through the clever construct that contrasts the real world of Seongjin and the dream world of Yang Soyu. The Tale of Chunhyang is known as a representative masterpiece of classical Korean fiction. By comparison, Dream of the Jade Chamber has been neglected. Both works have a female protagonist of gisaeng status who refuses to give bed service to a government official and preserves her chastity for the man she loves. In terms of the technique used to realize this theme, though, Dream of the Jade Chamber is superior. In this regard, classical fiction must be reevaluated.

There is constant controversy concerning the theory of Goryeo-gayo, a Korean Middle Song. It comes from the difference of researchers's viewpoints and methods adopted to texts of Goryeo-gayo. So I investigated especially the notion that they are made of folksongs in the certain contexts and debated about its merits or demerits, because that notion has widely-adapted by researchers. Thus I found three problems; that the researchers have not examined real texts but examined imaginary ones, that they have neglected grammar of the lingual texts and that have not proved extra-lingual texts to the bottom. The problems resulted from uniting Popularism and New Criticism. With some results of researches concerning three problems, I proposed a meaningful and reasonal viewpoint and method for Goryeo-gayo and its texts. I wish that this paper should be helpful to arrive at conclusions by mutual agreement.

This study tries to search for new possibilities in Korean classical Novel studies throughout critical investigations into research methods and aspects of Korean classical Novel. In recent years the studies of Korean classical Novel have guite increased in quantity but would not have developed in quality. The reason of these conditions would be in absence of communications among scholars as a result of indiviualization of researches. So common issues beyond indiviualization are needed. And in this paper mainly new attempts in research methods and aspects on the roman flueve in Chosun Dynasty period were looked into. As representative scholars Prof. Song(Song Sung-Wook), Prof. Jung(Jung Byung-Seol), and Prof Koo(Koo Bon-Gi) would we make a subject of discussion. Prof. Song tried to look into new possibility in studies of Chosun's the roman flueve according to succeeding to preceding academic achievement in studies of Chosun's the roman flueve. Prof. Jung tried to device new methodology for studies of Chosun's the roman flueve. Prof. Koo tried to look into new possibility in studies of Chosun's the roman flueve by combining preceding academic achievements with new methods in studies of Chosun's the roman flueve.

In the Youngnam(嶺南) area and the process of its development. As a result of the study, the existence of a Gadan(歌壇) featuring Nongam(聾巖) in the Gyungbook(慶北) Yeaan area was proved. The appropriateness of using the recently named 'Bungang Gadan(歌壇)instead of formerly suggested 'Yongnam Gddan(歌壇)‘ was approved. The need of the study of subdivisions in the Yongnam(嶺南) area and the possibility of the existence of Gadans in each subdivision was suggested. The future studies would help interpreting and explaining in depth the historical process of the development of Korean Siga(詩歌)and would be a way to manifest the significance of Bungang Gadan(汾江高壇) in the history of Korean literature.

This paper inquire into the Kim Jong-Jik(金宗直)'s poetry under the literature of 15th century. Although he could not become a 대재학(大堤學), he and his followers were the focus of the literary world at that time. He succeeded to the tradition of GuanKak(館閣) liturature as well as he was famous as a leader of Sa-Lim(士林) in later days. However many traditional GuanKak(館閣) poets like Seo Guh--Jeong(徐居正) pursut thoroughly the splendidness, but he had the magnificence and it's sprit. HIS poetry is a model of high-sprited DoHakPa(道學派) moral philosophers)'s next generation. His poetic characteristic was derived from the research of Huang Ting-Jian(黃庭堅) beside Du Fu(杜甫) and Su Shi(蘇軾).His followers also tried to learn Huang Ting-Jian(黃庭堅)'s poetry. The poetic taste of Kim ~Jong-Jik(金宗直) can be regarded as the guidence of before and after 16th century's Ghang Seo poetical style(江西詩派).
