백련시단의 문학적 지향 연구

Abstract

Many poets appeared in the late of Chosun Dynasty. The poets in similar positions had the poem society to present their literary talent and confirm their opinion in the literature. It was the time when they actively tried to show their literary intention in activities of the poem society. In the first half of the eighteenth century, the representative poem society of Nam-in was Baekryeonsa(白蓮社) founded by Gang pak(姜樸), Lee In-bok(李仁復), Gang Pil-shin(姜必愼), Lee Jung-hwan(李重煥), and (吳光運). These people formed the certain power in the Baekryeonsa(白蓮社) and pursued their own literary intention by making one literary circle. There were three characteristics in the literary intention of the Baekryeon(白蓮) poetical circle. Its members put a premium on ‘the stage of Studying poetry’ in studying poetry. They set the complete model in studying poetry because they were affected by tendencies of ‘ancient-worship’ which was a common literary theory of Nam-in in near Seoul in the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries. The members of the Baekryeon(白蓮) poetical circle tried freely and sincerely to express their feelings to seek the nature of human being in literature. In addition, they strongly emphasized ‘purity’ and ‘purity and vacuity’ on their works. The Baekryeon(白蓮) poetical circle’s associates had similar literary intention while studying and composing poems together, and they made use of it in creation and criticism of their actual literary works.
