ABSTRACT

This study intended to investigate the life and literary world of Haeam Kim Eung-Jung. He was a country nobleman who was writer of Sijo poetry who lived in Gangjin during the 16 and 17th century. Until now, the researchers of Sijo poetry could not obtain the first-edition of Haeam-jip published in 1773. They could only use a revised-edition which was published in the year 1905. This study compared the first and revised edition of Haeam-jip. The study focussed on analyzing Sijo poetry and Hansi (Chinese poetry) of the first edition and thus reviewed the literary world of the writer in a new perspective. It also reviewed the author's consciousness, and studied the writer in detail by reconstructing his life. This could be possible by not only studying Haeam-jip, but also, referring to the related collections of literary works of various writers. Kim Eung-Jung tried to confirm and realize his identity as a writer of noble birth in his birth-place and home-town, Gangjin. He lived a life devoted to Confucian ideas of so-called filial piety and had a profound interest in politics of central Joseon Dynasty. However, he spent his entire life in his living space which was a country village, after refusing to enter government service. The refusal brought him worries and conflicts as he had himself rejected a way to realize his ideal life as a nobleman participating in politics. So, he tried to resolve his worries by living in an alternative space of Nature, being close to rivers and lakes.
