홍백창의 금강산 기행시집 『句日記』 연구

Abstract

Guilgi(句日記) is a Mt. Kumgang travelogue written by Hong Baek-chang(洪百昌) in his mid-thirties, an eighteenth-century writer. This article analyzes Guilgi based on the creative consciousness mentioned in the preface of Guilgi, while on the one hand focusing on Hong Baek-chang’s poetic-oriented advocacy, and on the other hand paying attention to the related aspects of travel poetry and travel prose. In the preface of Guilgi, Poet Hong Baek-chang, advocated a new literary tendency with criticism towards the existing literary tendencies of the time. Hong Baek-chang’s poetics revealed in Guilgi can be summarized as a break from rhythm and tone, while prioritizing verisimilitude. Next, Guilgi can be paired with Munilgi(文日記), a travelogue within Dongyugisil(東遊記實), which can be the beginning for illuminating the close relationship between travel poetry and travel prose. ‘Guilgi’ signifies diary written in poetry, which has duplicity with ‘Munilgi’ that refers to diary written in prose within Dongyugisil. Guilgi and Munilgi establishes a duplicity relationship from the creative consciousness, thereby pairs their titles, closely interrelates the correlation by arranging the travel sequence to match the poetry to the diary, and by weaving them into a series.
