영문초록 : Preasant literature deals mostly with the problems of countries and peasants who wanted to find a way out of their difficulties in the colonial period. Many Gui-Nong novels in the 1930's are typical peasant literature. (written by Yi Kwong-su), < Ko-bang > (written by Yi Ki-yong) and < Sang-lock-su > (wirtten by Shim Hun) are the representative works on intellectualls' returning to the soil which have form and subtance internalized with social phenomena. This thesis describes the important external background and the internal construction of the novels which is about time, place and conflict. It also refers to the position of the Gui-Nong novels in the history of korean literature. Its summary is as follows. The circumstances of 1930's as the background of the works were similar to those of 1920's. At that time the intellectualls were interested in the solution of rural communities' problems because it was an only way of getting out of oppressive restriction under the colonial reign. But nationalists' unscientific and romantic reformism and revolutionists' ideological redicalism were ineffective in struggles. Peasant literature movement as a part of them required the reinforcement of some aims and the approach to the masses from the writers. The masses that could stand quarantee for the aims could be the base of reform at that time when practical social movements were cultural movements. National writers regarded farmers not as the subject but as the object, and stuck to literature of enlightenment and reformism in which intellectualls gave help to farmers. Revolutionary writers admitted the important situation of farmers in the revolutionary front line, and were interested in the important position of peasant literature. However, both had a superficial understanding with farmers and rural communities which were the physical base of the movement. The construction of time, place and conflict which is internal formation of the works seems to be disturbed by the external background of the works. Firstly, they described characters' hardships and their overcoming the hardships with the change of place. The great city Seoul became a negative place in the novels while the rural communities became good places where the main characters could put their will into practice. They laid stress on the prdominance of rural life in the novles, especially in and . But in the writer created a factory in a farm area in order to attain the aim of a labor federation, which made the lack of consistency in spatial formation. Secondly, time was used to give interest to reders. Coincidences were used in , and natural progress, in . The overuse of coincidences made the object of the novel become less clear, and natural progress shows only main characters' predominance and sacrifices, and reveals adapting themselves to circumstances. But in the writer goes into details about rural communities in a stopped time. Thirdly, the writers always put love-affairs in the formation of conflict. This was a way to attract reders' attention those days. The love-affairs give much intrest to reders but are not consistent with the aim of the novels, especially in and . Fourthly, the conflict between an individual and the society was treated superficially. The writers made the main characters great to give interest, which made the aim of the works obscure. In the author introduced a group of characters into the work, but that reveals his intention and artificiality which can carry the work to a lower level. Firthly, in Gui-Nong novels the consturction of time, place and conflict was fixed for the popularization of the aim of the novels. The formations of the works look different because the writers' viewpoints are different each other. The significance of 1930's Gui-Nong novels in the position of the history of Korean literature are as follows: first, the authors tried to approach the universality of literature and the special age by putting into practice the theory of popularization of literature with combination of usefulness and amusement to communicate with readers. Second, the Gui-Nong novels make peasant literature appear reformative. So the characteristic of peasant literature came to be fixed like that in Korean literature. In this thesis, the range of research is limited and it does not tell the reason why Li Mu-yong's and Park Yong-jun's novels and Pang In-gun's Gui-Nong ahort stories are not included in the category of Gui-Nong novels.
