김현승의 기독교 시 연구

Abstract

This study aims to research Kim, Hyeon-Seung’s poetry based on christian spirit. He used to act as a modernist breaking away from the tides of the times and adhering to Christian intelligence, and as a poet of lofty spirit, having an important influence on the history of modern poetry. During the long time, christian poetry has been considered that it is based on christian belief. Therefore, most think that a view of life and world would be realized through christian poetry. But Kim, Hyeon-Seung has rejected those inner christian view of world, has affirmed that christian poetry must be not based on a subject matter. It is his originality. On this paper, I have researched his christian poetry, dividing into the dogmatic poetics, the critical poetics and the poetics of transcendence. As a result, loneliness, death and so on are involved christian spirit. They are not christian subject, in Kim, Hyeon-Seung’s poetic world, but they are changed to good theme of christian poetry. Conclusionally, his poetry has new significance that christian poetry has been enlarged to outside of belief.
