AB - This thesis examined two pieces of literary work by literary clubs formed during the period of Japanese Occupancy, Banyangsisa by Banyang Literary Club in Naju and A Collection of Poetry and Prose from Wonnimdang by Haeyang Literary Club in Gwangju. By focusing on the activities and creative work by literary clubs during the period of Japanese Occupancy, it investigated literary responses of literary men in the colonial modern space.
The Japanese secret police included in the targets for its censorship not only political organizations or the press, but also private groups like literary clubs. Furthermore, most literary clubs were participated by local Confucian scholars, community leaders, and patriots, and therefore, these literary clubs were considered to be perfect targets not only for distributing pro-Japanese propaganda, but also for a target for surveillance. As such, literary clubs often could not express their frustration freely and had to endure considerable restrictions. Also such censorship often clouded rational judgments by lierary men.
Consequently, there were diverse literary responses from literary men who participated in literary clubs, which this study categorized into three types. Literary men in the first category were those who resisted atrocious violence committed by Japan during the occupancy. They sang the nation’s sorrowful life and continued to desire for the independence from Japan. Those in the second category are those who compromised with reality and sang an age of peaceful time. Most of them were degraded to become pro-Japanese factions to acquire or maintain their vested rights. Literary men in the third category are those who ignored the reality. They clung to natural beauty, mainly writing seasonal poems.
