초록

이 논문은 南社라는 조선말기의 시사를 발굴하여 조명했다. 그동안 남사는 존재 자체가 알려지지 않은 시사인데 이 글을 통해 문학사와 지성사에서 주목해야 할 結社임을 밝혔다.
남사는 1860년대 후반에 少論系 문인들이 서울의 남산 북쪽 회현동의 南村 지역을 거점으로 결성하였다. 결성을 주도한 문인은 洪岐周, 李重夏, 鄭基雨, 李建昌이다. 30여명으로 출발한 시사에는 姜瑋, 李建昇, 鄭範朝, 呂圭亨, 李南珪, 李琦, 金澤榮, 黃玹, 李根洙 등 조선말기 시문의 대가들이 대거 참여하였다.
시사는 30여년 이상 활발하게 활동하였고, 주요 동인이 사망한 광무 연간 이후에도 지속되었다. 일제강점기를 전후하여 동인은 親日과 反日로 분화되어 따로 시사활동을 하면서 한문학 창작과 연구를 주도하였다. 그 후예 중의 한 사람이 蔿堂 鄭寅普이다.
활발한 시사활동을 보여주는 산물로 1873년에 春柳詩 창작을 엮은 『春柳詩帖』과 1878년의 『九九銷寒帖』의 편집을 꼽을 수 있다. 姜瑋가 편찬한 『韓四客詩選』과 정만조의 시화 『榕燈詩話』는 동인의 활동을 정리한 선집과 시화이고, 李琦가 편찬한 『朝野詩選』은 남사 동인 중심으로 조선말기 한시를 뽑은 선집이다. 연구를 통해 남사가 매우 중요한 시사임을 밝혀냈고, 다수의 동인에 대한 깊이 있는 연구가 필요함을 제기하였다.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the newly discovered Namsa (南社), a poetry society of the Late Joseon period. Until now, the very existence of Namsa has been mostly unknown. This paper argues that from the perspective of literary and intellectual history of Korea, Namsa is an important group to study.
Namsa was organized in the late 1860s by the literary figures belonging to the Soron faction, based in Namchon (southern village), now Hoehyeon-dong at the northern foot of Mt. Namsan. The four founders of the group were HONG Gi-ju (洪岐周) YI Jung-ha (李重夏) JEONG Gi-u (鄭基雨) and YI Geon-chang (李建昌). It started with thirty active members and was later joined by a large number of leading literati of the late Joseon period, including GANG Wi (姜瑋), YI Geon-seung (李建昇), JEONG Beom-jo (鄭範朝), YIO Gyu-hyeong (呂圭亨), YI Nam-gyu (李南珪), YI Gi (李琦), KIM Taek-yeong (金澤榮), HWANG Hyeon (黃玹) and YI Geun-su (李根洙).
The group was active for more than thirty years and remained in existence even after the deaths of its key members during the Gwangmu era (1897-1907) of King Gojong. In the wake of the Eulmi Incident (1895) and the subsequent annexation of Korea by Imperial Japan in 1910, the group became divided into pro- and anti-Japanese members; they formed new poetry societies, each leading the creative and academic activities of their time in the field of Classical Chinese writings in Korea. The intellectual lineage of Widang JEONG In-bo (鄭寅普, 1893-1950) was rooted in the creative and academic activities of this historical group.


Major works by the members of the group can be cited as Chullyu sicheop (春柳詩帖, A Collection of the Poetry on Spring Willows) and Gugu sohancheop (九九銷寒帖, A Collection of the Poetry on Thawing of the Winter ), compiled in 1873 and 1878 respectively. Other and later works include Hansagaek siseon (韓四客詩選, A Selection of Works by Four Korean Poets), an anthology of the poetry by Namsa members compiled by Gang Wi; Yongdeung sihwa (榕燈詩話, Critical Essays on Poetry Written in Exile under An Oil Lamp) by Jeong Man-jo, a collections of essays written around 1904; and Joya siseon (朝野詩選, A Selection of Joseon Poetry Works) a comprehensive anthology of mostly Late Joseon poetry works by some two hundred poets, compiled by one of the leading Namsa members, Yi Gi, from 1916 to 1919. This paper sheds light on the significance of Namsa and underscores the need for further and in-depth research on the literary works of many of its members.
