朝鮮後期 女性文學 硏究Ⅱ

A Study on women's Literature in the Late period of Y-Dynasty(Ⅱ) : Centering on the Chinese Poetry and Prose of Kim, Keum Won

본 논문은 조선후기 여성문학 연구의 일환으로 18~19세기 작가활동이 두드러졌던 대표적 여성작가 金錦園의 시와 문을 중심으로 그녀의 문학적 특성을 살펴본 논문이다. 김금원은 적극적인 삶의 방법으로 14세 어린 나이로 유람을 강행했으며, 그러한 자주적 의지는 작가의식으로 드러나《호동서락기》라는 기행시, 문으로 결집되어 형상화되었다. 금원은 앞서 연구되었던 두 여성시인-金雲楚, 徐 令壽閤이 보여주었던 신분적 위치에 따른 전형적인 여성상과는 달리 여성적 경향과 그것을 탈피하려는 경향, 이 두가지 성향을 극복한 작가적 특성을 보여주고 있다고 하겠다. 그녀의 이러한 모습들에서 조선후기 변화하는 사회적 분위기 속에 여성작가들의 문학적 지향이 어떠한가, 어떻게 변화하게 될 것인가를 암시해주는 커다란 의미를 발견할 수 있다.

The above has been about the verse and prose of Kim, Keumwon, a representative woman writer of the 18th and 19th centuries. And this thesis is a result of current study on women writers' literature of the late period of Yi-dinasty. ≪Hodongseoracki≫, Keumwon's only collected work, recorded her own life experiences, revealing her literary characteristics through travel sketching poems and proses. ≪Hodongseoracki≫ is prose-like description whose first part is linked to the last part. The contents in the middle is divided into 3 phases, and it's usually travel sketches. The first and last parts presents logically what brought her to write the prose and the significance of travelling the famous historic sites that was to be the main part of the second and third phases. Among the total three parts, the third one was about the period when her husband, Kim, Duckhee, retired from the office and stayed at Samho-arbour in Younsan. It was at this period when she was actively engaged in writing poems alone with other women writers like Jookseo, Uncho, Kyunsan, and her sister, Kyungchoon, so very aggressive way of thinking as a writer was melted into her writings. She even pointed out the individualistic character as one writer, completely different from others, saying that even though they wrote together, each of them has her own sentiments born out of natural idiosyncrasy, therefore it couldn't be said that the poetic world of any poet was superior to any others. This positive way of thinking as a writer can be reconfirmed in the travel sketching poems and proses that were to be revealed throughout the following phases of Keumwon's first two periods. The first phase was a period of great march starting from the travel to 4 districts of Keumho. It was the first place for her to visit when she was 14 years old. After isiting there, she travelled to Mt. Keumkang, the Famous 8 Scenes at Kwangdong, Mt. Sorak, Hanyang. In the first and last proses, she showed that the travelling, as she did, could a was of reaffirming the current status of women and of overcoming that condition. Her active and free way of life which was well represented in her daring travelling was the result of her thinking that one's own road for life has to be cut by oneself. She had a direct experience about the famous sites by visiting the places personally, so that her description on them could be really concrete and elaborate. Sometimes, she wrote some poems, which was written when she was excited about the beauty of the scenes. The amount was not large enough, however, they expressed her character, who was basically witted, active and free-spirited. The most meaningful one out of Keumwon's travelling experiences was her excursion to Mt.Keumgang. The excursion to Mt.Keumgang had been very popular among the 17th and 18th century male writers, though, it was a real rare thing among women. Admist this atmosphere, she bravely travelled. She described so minutely the scenery in and around Mt.Keumgang that it was portrayed like a picture. She not only showed courageous aspect by visiting dangerous spots unhesitatingly but she elaborately described the mountain as the spirited on of the nation by mentioning the origin of the famous sites, their historical meaning, and sometimes by comparing it with renowned places of China. For Keumwon, her excursion to the mountain was a chance to experience the national pride and to reaffirm her identity. Likewise, she also could portray discriptively the beautiful and famous places such as the famous 8 scenes of Kwandong, Mt.Sorak and Hanyang. Especially, in her portrayal that Hanyang, the capital city, had both exuberant and valiant spirit of magnificence, her pride with the nation was well represented. In her writing about going back to home from the long period of travelling, the characteristics as a wise and proud woman writer was explicitly demonstrated. The second part was about travel poems, proses and the people's wa
