普及用 歌集 남훈태평가의 印刊과 시조 향유에의 影響(1)

Abstract

This writing is a kind of mid-research paper about some period of 19th century selection of songs history, through the information on publishing and distribution of Namhun taepyeongga(南薰太平歌;abbr. NT), a selection of songs that was only published in Banggakbon style among the late Joseon dynasty's selections of songs. NT has caught much attention partly because it was published for a commercial reason. Little attention, however, was given to the fact that its publishing and distribution was not one-time event, due to the characteristics of Banggakbon that it was almost impossible to have a different edition and to the scarcity of the different edition. This writing illustrates the fact in positive perspective that NT was first published in single volume in Banggakbon in Seokdong, Seoul in 1863, followed by the second edition in Banggakbon that was edited and parted into two, and with new typography of the early 20th century, which made books easily printed, Sinmunkwan of Choe Namseon again printed them as a modern publication and distributed them in large quantities at the special price of 6 Jeon. In addition, the data on the issue that such selections of Sijo as Sijo and Siyeo, which have vaguely been mentioned to be similar to NT for a while, was nothing but hand-copied books based on NT, have been collected in an organized fashion. This information will prove the relationship between publishing of NT and enjoyment of Sijo. With many discussions on the features of Sijo appeared in NT and assessment of their position in the Sijo history going, this basic and material research seems to come quite late. But, like most studies of literature, a thorough and basic research of related data will never be neglected because it is the best policy inspiring a new and critical mind on an object of study.
