KOREAN LITERATURE
MODERN LITERATURE
Many novels of the 1920s centered on
themes of the suffering of intellectuals. The
lives of farmers were often depicted as
pathetic. As the Japanese government
strengthened ideological coercion during the
1930s, Korean literature was directly
affected. Many novels of the time
experimented with new literary styles and
techniques.
KOREAN LITERATURE
After 1945, Korea soon found itself divided into North and South. The
Korean War led to the development of literature centered on the wounds and
chaos of war and tragedy.
