우촌(雨村) 남상교(南尙敎) 시(詩) 연구(硏究) = A Study on Nan Sang-kyo`s Poetry

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper is to be written to revaluate Nam Sang Kyo(南尙敎), one of the greatest poets in the literary History of 19th Century Chosun Dynasty. His son, Nam Jong Sam(南鍾三), who had been a secretary of Seung Jong won(承政院), privately teaches Korean language to a French priest and tries to legalize preaching Catholicism by negotiating with the strong man, Daewongun(大院君), the regent. But in 1866 when Daewongun determined to persecute the followers of Catholicism, Nam Jong Sam was sentenced to death and his father, Nam Sang Kyo was dead in prison. On account of the persecution, his drafts were scattered to anonymity. Although his achievement in Sino-Korean poetry was great, everybody considered him not as a poet, but as a martyr to Catholicism. To begin with, in chapter 1, I will introduce several materials dealt with Nam Sang Kyo`s poetic status in poetic society. And I will arduously reconstruct his life through fragmentary data. In chapter 2, In order to prepare to study his poems, I will examine and arrange the several anthologies of his poetry. These ones-all of them-are transcription texts. I will divide them three divisions by their characteristics and try to clarify which one is the best text. For further study, it is necessary for us to rearrange these materials and make an authorized version for his poetry. In chapter 3, I will explain, in turn, some characteristics in his poems: at the outset, the poems of self-consciousness, secondly, the poems of rural landscapes and humanity, thirdly, the poems of esthetic tendencies, among them, The Eight odes on pussy of willow(柳絮八詠) is the most famous, by the intellect, seeking reality in wandering, whose identity based on rural and political minority group. In chapter 4, I will arrange above-mentioned discussion and present a vista for further study.
