Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine Buckchon poetry club’s activity through Kim Jo －soon who was a central figure of the Buckchon poetry club. At the outset, it is imperative to clarify the meaning of the keyword, Buckchon poetry club. Buckchon poetry club is not a current term in the academic world, however I would like to define the poetry club which had been continued over the 19th century as Buckchon poetry club. It might be said that this paper is a first step of the study on Buckchon poetry club. Describing the feature of this poetry club is as follows. Kim Jo－soon had led the poetry club’s activities in the former half of 19th century, and this club has continued until the latter half of 19th century. Furthermore, many high－ranking people participated in Buckchon club than any other poetry club at that time, and the club was in an advantageous position to achieve academic and cultural information from overseas countries. In these points, it can be said that Buckchon club was the most central poetry club at that period. Kim Jo－soon worked hard to extend a new prospect of poetic expression with professional poets. After Kim Jo－soon’s death, such activity had been succeeded and consequently it characterized Buckchon poetry club. It is anticipated that studying diachronic aspect of Bukchon club’s change and comparing it to Seoul’s other poetry clubs such as ‘Namchon’ and ‘Dongchon’ will enable us to prospect the overall history of late Joseon’s Chinese poem in more detail.
