백철 문학사의 판본 연구

Abstract

Baek Chôl published the first volume of 'Chosun-sin'munhak-sajosa' (The History of the Trend of Modern Korean literature) in 1948, and the second volume of this work was published in 1949. Compared with Lim Hwa's work which illuminated the history of modern Korean literature until the period of Sin'sosôl(the new prose literature), Baek Chôl's work covered all the period of modern korean literature and had given an important effect on many korean literary researchers. However, Baek's work had been published in various editions, so the bibliography of Baek's literary history have been written differently in researchers' convenience. This treatise is on the different versions of Baek's literary history. There is five different editions of Baek's literary history, and each editions has distinctively specific features. The five editions of Baek Chôl's literary history would be as follows. ① The original text published by Susôn-sa in 1948 and by Baekyang-dang in 1949 ② The edition of Minjung-sô'kwan published by Minjung-sô'kwan in 1953/55 ③ The collaborated work with Lee Byung-gi published by Shingu-munhwa-sa in 1956/57 ④ The edition bounded in the complete works of Baek Chôl published by Shingu-munhwa-sa in 1968/80 ⑤ The paperback edition published by Park'young-sa in 1975. To have a right understanding on the literary history of Baek Chôl, we need to distinguish each edition from others.
