Yi Kwangsu (18921950) Was One Of The Pioneers Of Modern Korean Literature. When The Serialization Of Mujong (The Heartless) Began In 1917, It Was An Immediate Sensation, And It Occupies A Prominent Place In The Korean Literary Canon.The Heartless Is The Story Of A Love Triangle Among Three Youths During The Japanese Occupation. Yi Hyngsik Is A Young Man In His Midtwenties Who Is Teaching English At A Middle School In Seoul. Brilliant But Also Shy And Indecisive, He Is Torn Between Two Women. Kim Snhyng Is From A Wealthy Christian Family; She Has Just Graduated From A Modern, Westernstyle School And Is Planning On Continuing Her Studies In The United States. Pak Yngch'Ae Is A Musically Gifted Young Woman Who Was Raised In A Traditional Confucian Manner; Due To Family Misfortune, She Has Become A Kisaeng But Remains Devoted To Hyngsik Whom She Knew As A Child.The Heartless Goes Beyond The Level Of Romantic Melodrama And Uses These Characters To Depict Korea'S Struggles With Modern Culture And National Identity. A Long Critical Introduction Discusses Yi Kwangsu'S Life And Work From His Birth In 1892 To The Publication Of His First Novel The Heartless In 1917. It Contains Indepth Analyses Of The Novel, Yi Kwangsu'S Literary Theory, And Early Short Stories.
