늦게 발행된 동인지 ―1920년대 전반기 문학 장과 『백조』―

Abstract

The literary history mainly defines White Wave (백조) in two ways. One is that White Wave was a literary coterie magazine following Creation (창조) and Ruin (폐허). Another is that White Wave was a breeding ground of ‘Proletarian Literature.’ Park Jong-Hwa (박종화) met Jung Baek (정백) and Hong Sa-Yong (홍사용) in Hui-Moon high school (휘문고보), and they put their heart into literature. Since then, Park Jong-Hwa, Jung Baek, and Hong Sa-Yong had been active in Dawn Light (서광) and The Friends of Writing (문우). When The Friends of Writing was published, Na Do-Hwang (나도향) and Park Yong-Hee (박영희) visited Park Jong-Hwa. The first issue of White Wave was when there was no space for literary works to be published. You can feel the pride of White Wave’s members in high-quality paper and advanced binding. Every issue of White Wave was published in the name of foreigners. There was no separate provision for foreign publishers in the Publishing Law. The third issue of White Wave was published after a year and a half. The delay in publication was primarily due to management problems. There was a big change in the literary field between the second and the third issue of White Wave. Newspapers and magazines prepared a ‘literary special’ and paid for the manuscript. The change in the literary field made it difficult to publish White Wave, but paradoxically, White Wave drove that change.
