장덕조(張德祚) 장편소설 『십자로(十字路)』 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the bibliography, content, and meaning of Jang Deok-jo's novel, Sibjalo, which has not been reported in the academic world. I have the book and I want to contribute to the research of Jang, Deok-jo literature. Although female writer Jang Deok-jo(1914-2003) has left a number of works, but we do not even have a basic bibliography and data acquisition for the whole work. Notably, the bibliography, which was specifically addressed in this article, was not precisely confirmed, and has not been studied for the loss of serialized weekly magazines and the loss of Sibjalo. Sibjalo tells us that a female character(Lee, Young-ran) who graduated from the College of English at C College loves a professor of political science(Han, In-jun) and then gives up him and chooses the professor of medical school(Kim, Min-soo), but he eventually chooses a businessman and goes to the United States with him. Sibjalo is a story in which the romance and conflict of the vested interests of men and women are in the foreground, and it is a story of escape from it and envy of the United States, rather than a confrontation with the reality of Korea. This can be interpreted as the acceptance of aid and the escape from the painful reality of Korea at that time, and her attitude toward Japanese imperialism was replaced by the United States.
