존재 위백규의 시문학 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the poetic literature of Jonjae, Wee Baek-gyu, based on changes at the bottom of the poetic arena in the 18th century. Wee Baek-gyu was a writer who had a very unique career. Unlike other literary men who composed verses and studied while keeping a large circle of companies, he wrote so many books, read many books while farming for himself, and expressed the common people's feelings in poetry about living and Chinese poetry by his great poetic way, based on his practical experiences. These points are more remarkable than any other realists whom we've examined. Pomes in Jonjaejib and Jonjaejeonseo is worth discussing the distinctive current and achievement of the literary world in the 18th century. His poetic attraction is found in the continuous experimentalism and in the process of self-exploration. The arguments in this dissertation can be summarized as follows: In the introduction, I raise a question why Wee Baek-gyu attracted attention in the poetic arena of the 18th century. And then, by showing an argument course, I reveal that I intend to highlight the specific value which the poetic literature of Wee has. In the second chapter as the background where his poetic literature is formed, I consider him as a new model who came into being in 18th century through investigating his direction after he took the state examination and his frustration, his estrangement and self-consciousness, and the process of his absorption in poetry. In the third chapter. I examine his poetic viewpoint and his prosody. I point out that his literary point of view began from the thorough position of Jaedo doctrine. In the fourth chapter, I consider how his poetic literature changed in both externals and quality. As he became older, he accomplished the versification which was suitable for his poetic viewpoint and his desire for expression. When I consider some developing changes in his poetic literature, I find out that Wee's poetry reached the peak in the latter part of his life. In the fifth chapter, I study his sense of crisis and spatial characteristics exposed in his literature. I review the arguments of this dissertation in the sixth chapter. I classify the significance which his poetic literature can have in the Korean poetic history into these followings: diversification of writing groups and the appearance of new image as a writer, renewal from a model and self-awareness, rediscovering everyday life and practicing Chosun poetry. Finally, I expect to revaluate Wee Baek-gyu as the man in question at the poetic arena of the 18th century and as the poet who opened up a original world of poetry through this dissertation.
