Abstract

This thesis attempts to study Sijo published on Daehanmaeilsinbo as a pilot research to complement the history of Sijo between the period of 1876-1910 and modern times. Of the Sijos belonging to the era, I focused on the aspect of how titles were given to the literary works. Before this era, the majority of Sijo had no titles with the exception of the Yeonsijos. In addition, many short literary works had their titles given by posterity. Danshimga and Banjungjohongsi are examples of this practice. The Sijos published on Daehanmaeilsinbo garner attention because all works were titled, regardless of being either a work of parody or an original one. Keeping this titling practice in mind, I intend to explore the mindset of the writers who had leading roles in Sijo writing and its publishing on Daehanmaeilsinbo. This will become a study that overviews the literary value of the minority who focused on Sijo, which was set apart from the major literary theme of the time, the enlightenment. It is true the studies focusing on the major literary topic of the period of 1876-1910 has grown as much as the study of traditional and modern literature. However, it cannot be denied the other, minor literary topics of the era have been overlooked in their literary values. This thesis will become part of the specifying process that explores the minor topics of the era based on the mainstream themes at the time. In the first chapter we made data according to the title types and divided into two groups: contents type and form type. The former was again divided into title type and excerpt type, while the later was divided into notation and genre negotiation. To analyze the titling practice at the time the researcher focused on Geumhye and Shin Chaeho. Both men each individually published their poetic theory on the paper and had a leading role, which makes their statements inevitably unique. Geumhye overly asserted that poetry must be innovated and expressed his aesthetics as an author through the works he had made modification. In Cheonheedangsihwa, Shin Chaeho had also suggested direction Sijo must take. It is to be noted, these two approaches resembles the way the Confucian Scholars demanded the renovation of Goryeo Gayo in the late Koryo Dynasty to the early Joseon Dynasty. Therefore, we were able to confirm that the assertion of these two men reflected the Sijo writer’s consciousness of the era and that their titles also reflected these thoughts.
