尤庵 宋時烈 散文의 문예적 면모

Abstract

This thesis is a study on the prose of Woo-am, Song Si-yeol. He was a politician and a philosopher who had the greatest influence on Chosun Dynasty in the seventeenth century. He was in an era of cultural restoration of MokReungSeongSei and wrote many literary works, especially prose, based on historical events, ImjinWaeRan and BeyngJaHoRan. Woo-am worte 『SongJaDaeJeon』 which had a unique title. Many literary men have collected his works after he died so 『SongJaDaeJeon』 is too vast. Woo-am tried to express 'extraordinariness' in his works as the evaluation of later ages. It was influenced by Han-yu who was a writer in China. There are feelings of movement and interest in his works. He changed the semantic structure of his works using his new idea instead of not making the construction and contents of his works flat. Only the writers capable of constructing sentences delicately can change semantic structure. But Woo-am made these changes in his works creatively. His creative method of description has been a controversy. Woo-am frequently quoted the scriptures that had the absolute authority and gave persuasive power to his view in this way. This thesis is the result of researching the vast collection of Woo-am. Diverse research is required to understand Woo-am's collection because his collection is the most massive collection among Korean writers of many generations. But this thesis partially concerns the prose of Woo-am. Hopefully research on Woo-am wll be active and continuous.
