구활자본 애정소설 <藥山東臺>의 서사적 측면에서 본 변모 양상 -<춘향전>의 전승적 맥락을 중심으로-

Abstract

The <Chun-hyang-jeon> from 'Pansori' is regarded as one of the most popular classical novel which generated a number of different editions. The rewriting of <Chun-hyang-jeon> was very active not only in Yi-dynasty but also a turning point in the modern age. In the 1910's, in the view of the history of literature, vigorous social changes are incorporated into the Pre-1910's literary tradition. Especially, <Chun-hyang-jeon> had newly rewritten and published for many different versions in the period of 1910's. These are <Ok-jung-wha>, <Go-bon- chun-hyang-jeon>, and <Yak-san-dong-dae>. In this study, we focus on the <Yak-san-dong-dae>, which is another succession of the <Chun-hyang-jeon> and try to find what the differences between them. For <Yak-san-dong-dae>, the crucial differences from <Chun-hyang-jeon> are largely three points. Firstly, the change of name for a hero/ heroine and the movement of the space. Secondly, comparing 'Chun-hyang', 'Bing-ok' is appeared as a rigid person with fidelity as well as physical purity. Thirdly, <Chun-hyang- jeon> is vivid in the narrative due to the nature of the inserted song from 'Pansori'. On top of that, it also implies the criticism of the society. However, the inserted song in <Yak-san-dong-dae> is different from <Chun- hyang-jeon> in that it delivers the function of amusement in the present age. To sum up, the major transformations in <Yak-san-dong-dae> are as follow: (1) The regional background was moved from 'Nam-won' to 'Pyeong-yang'. (2) The relation between a virgin and Confucian ideas of heroine (3) The function of the inserted song with the change of the times With respect to the above results, we exclude the elaborate differences between the copies of different editions and maintain the universality from <Chun-hyang- jeon>.
