<<황혼가>>의 서정성과 전환적 의미

Abstract

In modern history of poem poet Kim kwang-gyun is considered as a modernist who created poems on the basis of sensitive image and picturesque method Such reputation, however, is only true of his early works such as 『Wasadung』, 『Kihwanggi』. In his latter part of life, he published three poetry, which are very important in studying his entire poetic characteristics and to study his poems diachronically. In this thesis, I studied the transitional meaning of his poetry.『Hwanghonga』, which was written in the middle period of his poetic history. The main characteristic of his early poems before the 『Hwanghonga』 was sensitive and picturesque technique, but the third poetry 『Hwanghonga』 showed delineation of his feeling and deep emotion, which was due to uneasy and desolate agony of life. The sad emotion caused by the death of friends and lost hometown were described in the poetry of 『Hwanghonga』. So in this poetry, the nihilistic meditation of life and destiny was expressed as a dominent emotion. As the poetic there was to express his own sorrow and nihility caused by the death of friends and neighbor, he used the autobiographical and confessional discourse rather than picturesque method which made a distance between himself and object Though such discourse weakened the poetic tension and aesthetic effects, it had a strong meaning in revealing his inner consciousness properly. In other words, the reason why his technique to describe object and feelings changed was due to social changes and the feeling of crisis in life. Kim's feelings on such crisis was expressed in the form of retrospect of past titre and space and sometimes in direct delineation of emotion. He recognized helplessness as a poet when he saw the negative social reality deprived of universal human value. His recognition of society was expressed in his poetry 『Hwanghonga』. His deep agony on life made him contemplate theme of a poem and caused him to think highly of the importance of the inner sense or emotions rather than poetic skill and artificial aspect of object. This attitude of Kim kwang-gyun enabled him to change his poetic mood and allowed him to change his poetic tendency. So he described his transitional feelings in this poetry. In the poetry of 『Hwanghonga』, he was a delineator of emotion rather than of poetic technique. In respect of his poetic changes, 『Hwanghonga』 had a transitional meaning of his poetic history which caused him to change his poetic tendency not only in his lyrical mode but also in poetic emotion.
