고소설의 동시사건 서술기법에 대한 사적(史的) 고찰

Abstract

There is a narrative technique that tell the simultaneous events occurred in each place. We named that "narrative technique of simultaneous events", and studied from when this technique have been used in the history of Korean old novels. At the beginning stage of Korean old novels, narrative technique of simultaneous events have not been used. <Geum-o-sin-hwa(金鰲新話)>, <Gu-un-mong(九雲夢)>, <Sa-ssi-nam-jeon-gi(謝氏南征記)> are examples of that. This technique have begun to be used in <Choi-chuk-jeon(崔陟傳)>, <Suk-hyang-jeon(淑香傳)>. Of course, since then this technique have not used in all the works. Using or not using of this technique was the option of each work. Especially this technique have nearly not been used in the works related with Pan-so-ri(판소리). Why have this technique appeared in the old novels? Otherwise common-sense point of view, the increase of character or complexification of events was not inevitable reasons of that. This technique have been devised or adopted consciously for the interests of a novel above all. Time technique is very important in the novel, and it influences a world view of reader. The narrative technique of simultaneous events would have made readers at that time imagine the others of other place more actively. So the appearance of this technique was very important event in the history of Korean old novels.
