Korean Medieval Literature refers to the body of literary works produced in Korea from the 10th to the 16th centuries. This period saw the emergence of various genres, including poetry, historical narratives, and folk tales, often influenced by Confucianism and Buddhism. Notable works include the Samguk Sagi, a historical record of the Three Kingdoms, and the Goryeo Gayo, a collection of songs reflecting the culture of the Goryeo Dynasty. During this time, the use of the Korean script, known as Hangul, began to develop, although classical Chinese was predominantly used for official writings. The literature often explored themes of love, nature, and social issues, providing insight into the lives and values of medieval Korean society. The works from this era laid the foundation for later Korean literary traditions.
