윤동주의 이른바 ‘서시’의 제목 문제

Abstract

This article is a textual criticism about the title of Yun Dong-Joo’s poem which is called “Seosi.” Criticisms are as follows. First, in 『Photograph version of Yun Dong-Joo’s Complete Autograph Poem Collection』, there is no title of poem so-called “Seosi”. Second, there was a trial to assign the title to the poem of “Seosi” in the first version of poem collection, 『Heaven and wind and stars and poems』 where the title was tried to be “Seosi” with the subtitle of “Heaven and wind and stars and poems”. But the subtitle was surrounded by dotted lines and the poem was differentiated from others. Third, big change occurred in the second version. Title was written by ‘Seosi’ not by ‘(Seosi)’ and the poem had the issue to be acknowledged as an independent poem after eliminating the subtitle and dotted lines. Since the second edition, “Seosi” eventually started to be mentioned in Yun Dong-Joo discussion.
