遯湖 沈一洙의 생애와 작품 세계

초록

This paper summarizes the life of Donho(遯湖) Sim Il-su(沈一洙, 1877–1952), a traditional intellectual in the Yeongdong(嶺東) region of Gangwon-do from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, and examines the thematic consciousness found in his works. Sim Il-su was from the Samcheok Sim clan(三陟沈氏), one of the prominent families of Gangneung, and he engaged in academic, literary, and educational activities within the local community while upholding a strong sense of family identity. Although he was unable to enter central government service due to the limitations of the times, he strove to lead the life of a traditional Confucian scholar as a scholar of Gangwon Yeongdong who inherited the academic lineage of the Noron-Hwaseo school(老論-華西學派). While his collected works, Donho-Yugo(遯湖遺稿) , do not remain in large quantities, it serve as sufficient material for examining the general tendencies of his writings. The major trends revealed in his poetry and prose can be summarized as ‘memory and glorification of his ancestors,’ ‘awareness of the realities of the times and patriotic sentiment,’ and ‘identity as a member of the Noron-Hwaseo school.’ These trends in Sim Il-su’s life and works are significant in that they allow us to examine the life patterns and perspectives on the times of traditional intellectuals who were active primarily in the Yeongdong region during the transition to modernity.
