해방기에 출간된 丁洪敎 童話集 『박달방망이』에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study made an in-depth research on the fairy tale collection Bakdalbangmangi: A birch bat through the details of the author Jeong Hong-gyo and Jeong’s writing and analysis of the type, formation and contents of his books targeting Bakdalbangmangi, a fairy tale collection by Jeong which was published in the Liberation Period. It was confirmed that Jeong who had been a child activist from the 1920s published 6 kinds of fairy tales for children such as Geumssaraegi, Eunssaraegi, Euihyeopsonyeon, Geumdak, Sonyeongisu, Bakdalbangmangi etc., and Bakdalbangmangi was characterized as a book that Jeong published by collecting 10 fairy tales. Bakdalbangmangi was published at the Seoul Namsan Youth Education and Counseling Center in 1948 after liberation as a type of B6-sized book containing 62 pages. Results of analysis on the formation of the book show that the book was composed in order of front cover-title paper-table of contents-preface- body-colophon-back cover. 10 fairy tales contained in the body adopted a method of delivering a lesson in the story more directly with a pattern of attaching the author Jeong’s ‘instructions’ for young readers at the back of each story. As a result of analysis on the contents through preface, body and book review of Bakdalbangmangi, this study confirmed that it was a collection of fairy tales taking on the youth movement containing contents for inculcating awareness of nation, attitude and mindset for society in children who will lead Joseong of the future after liberation as they never learned under Japanese coercion.
