조선초 소외형 관료 문인의 문학 경향 - 泰齋 柳方善論 -

Abstract

Taeje Yu Bang Sun (柳方善, 1388-1443) is one of the representative writers significantly affecting the literary world of the early years of the Joseon Dynasty. However, the political collapse and the consequent banishment forced him to be isolated-type, bureaucrat-literary man. Given the facts, the purpose of this study is to identify how he overcame the political ordeals from his poetic literature. The life of Yu Bang Sun can be summarized as "failures of dream toward the world and its subjugation," and the subjugation included the internalization accompanied with resignation. In this context, sense of Tae functioned as an important mechanism. It has two layers - a vision of circular reasoning, or tranquility after poverty, and a vision of fatalism, or a will of calmness on difficulty. This sense can be the consequence of simultaneousness of a will to free himself from banishment and a thought that acquired the banishment as destiny. It may be not probable that his literary pedigree is simplified into bureaucrat type by emphasizing the aspect of letting the legacy of bureaucrat-literary men between Kwon Geun(權近) and Seo Geo Jeong(徐居正), for he was completely isolated from it. In this process, the Bang-oui literary tendency and the Sa-rim literary tendency are shown in his works complicatedly to be a trait, a trait that can be noted as his literary position in early years of the Joseon Dynasty.
