Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project aims to explore the nature-human relationship by paying attention to a specific literary device: the idea of “correspondence.” This idea, indicating the interrelatedness between the natural and the human, between the material world and the human mind, and between the world and the self, is historically reexamined as one of the most significant literary devices or tropes. In addition, this study attempts to assess whether this particular literary trope/device is still valid in contemporary literature and literary studies by referring to some approaches other than literary one. The idea of “correspondence” was fully formulated by nineteenth-century Romanticism and has been embedded as an implicit premise in many artistic works and genres. This research project has been completed by making explicit the historical and current siginificance of the idea of “correspondence.”
