18~19세기 서울 南村 楠皐詩社의 형성과 활동

Abstract

The aspects of various poetry clubs held throughout Seoul have been constantly revealed through prior studies. However, the poetry clubs in Namchon(南村), Seoul were not studied in depth compared to other poetry clubs in Seoul, and even this was mainly concentrated on the poetry clubs in the late 19th century. This paper first describes the overall landscape of Namchon in the late Joseon Dynasty, and then deals with the Namgo- poetry club(楠皐詩社), which was active throughout the late 18th and 19th centuries. It is hoped that the research of the Namgo-poetry club will be a way to understand the aspects of 19th-century literature history and Seoul's cultural history. Namgo-poetry club began in the late 18th century at the Hohyeonbang(好賢坊) Sogongdong Mansion called Namgo(南皐) or Namwon(南園) from Shim Yun-Ji, Shim Neung-sook's father. Shim Yun-ji's poetry club was called ‘Namgo-poetry club(南皐詩社)’, which emphasized the locality of Namchon(南村) in Seoul. The main participants of the time when the 南皐詩社 was formed were Kwon Sang-shin, Kim Sang-im, Kim Sang-hyu, HongUi, and Yi Eun[Lee Paerang-e]. In the 19th century, Shim Neung-sook succeeded the 南皐詩社 and renamed it 楠皐詩社, further expanding the size of it and developing it. Since ‘楠’ was used by Shim Neung-sook, writers of the time called it 楠皐詩社 distinguished from Shim Yun-ji's poetry club. Shim Neung-sook was a renowned poet and leading the cultural phenomenon that was popular in the 19th century, including musical talent such as playing music and writing music, fondness for flowers, the taste of taoist ideology such as 『ChamDongGye(『參同契』)』, yearning for a hermit(奇人), and creation of stories and novels. During its heyday, many representative writers such as Kwon Bok-in, Lee Jae-ui, Kim Ki-mook, Kim Ki-seo, Jung Se-ik, Jo In-young, Cho Chul-young, and Lee Myung-oh participated in the club. In the later period, writers who received attention in 19th-century Korean studies such as Seo Yoo-young, Lee Man-yong, Kim No-kyum, and Song Sang-rae were active. Since the 楠皐詩社 was not directly inherited by the descendants of Cheongsong Shim, it was forced to disband naturally after the death of Shim Neung-sook. However, Seo Yoo-young, Hong Han-ju, Lee Man-yong, Song Ju-heon and Hong Jae-bong, who were participants of the 楠皐詩社, held a ‘Namsa(南社)’, a new poetry club. The fact that many of the key writers in southern Seoul in the late 19th century were from the 楠皐詩社 is also a good example of the influence of it in the 19th century literary history.
