淵泉 金履陽의 문예론과 경세론에 대한 재검토

Abstract

Yun Chun, Kim Yi Yang was the writer with a unique and interesting literary tendency. A while ago, he was known to the academic world, but the study on him has not been intensively researched. Kim Yi Yang is the first generation of Buckchon poetical circles at 19th century. I paid attention to him again through study on poetical circles in Buckchon of Seoul. As a result, I found interesting points which did not show in previous studies. Kim Yi Yang was one of the members in the family of Andong Kim who lived in Buckchon for generations. In the aspects of his family and scholastic lineage, he supposed to succeed to the Baekak poetical circles centered by Kim Chang Hyup. Kim Chang Hyup emphasized the theory that sentence and ideology are one, however Kim Yi Yang was free of that theory. He believed that ethics could be sacrificed to raise the quality of literary work. Also, he stuck to retro poetics, which many Noron scholars criticized. This article also examined Kim Yi Yang’s view of society. Kim Yi Yang was aware of the seriousness of the social problems at that time, but it seems he had no serious concerns on that or will to solve the problems. In other words, even in the matters of society and economy, he did not think importantly of having to take responsibility for following the Way. His passive attitude toward governing issues is likely to be criticized. However, it is also the truth that his such attitude leads to free thinking in the literature. Kim Yi Yang's literary style has a strong influence on the literary achievement of the Damjung group. The article can be used as a touchstone to understand the branches and flows of the literary world at the 19th century.
