藥南 李憲洛의 생애와 문학세계

Abstract

Yaknam Lee Heon-nak(1718～1791) was a writer from Gyeongju, and he once entered government service and administered state affairs, but it led him to experience exile. He basically pursued loyalty to the king(忠君) and filial duty to parents(孝親), but was in agony in the reality where carrying out those two side by side was difficult, and went back to hometown and concentrated on study in his latter years. Even though he didn't accomplish a lot politically and academically, he played some roles in the exchange between Yeongnam Namin and Geungi Namin, and genuinely expressed his circumstances and the reality of those time by writing many pieces of poetry and prose. This thesis aims at more closely investigating Lee Heon-nak's life and literary world based on preceding theses and introductory notes. In the introduction, the main contents and research history in <Yaknamjip(藥南集)>, the collection of Lee Heon-nak's literary works, were examined. From Chapter 2 to Chapter 5, his literary world was divided mainly into four phases depending on his life, and his thoughts about origin and the reality of his poetry and prose were analyzed from various angles. His study in Seonggyungwan and worry about origin(出處), his life at public service and speaking out his longing for his hometown(思鄕), Uljin(蔚珍) exile and determination on living in seclusion(歸隱), and his life coming back to the nature(歸田園) and enjoying himself(自樂) were examined in order.
