<김희경전> 원전 재구

Abstract

This thesis aims to provide desirable text for studying this work by restoring the original of Kim Hee Kyeong Jeon. While the Jeong Myeong Gi version, the initial edition among editions of Kim Hee Kyeong Jeon was estimated to be faithful to original, there is no complete works for this version. In regard of this, this thesis adopted as the foundation for restoration of original, Kim Dong Wook version A⋅D⋅F that contains the contents of first, middle and last part most completely among the Jeong Myeong Gi version, the initial edition. I found and supplemented the partial defect from the editions that have complete information. Besides, I unified the name of person or place focusing on Jeong Myeong Gi version, and corrected misspelling or omission, duplication or no-sentence, raising the degree of completion. From the restored original, it became clear that Kim Hee Kyeong Jeon was not only created as the full-length woman heroic novel, but also accepted the core narration of the 17th century wit and beauty novel. In addition, more persuasive was the argument suggesting that Kim Hee Kyeong Jeon was first divided from the original to Jeong Myeong Gi version and Kuk Jung version, crossed 2 versions in the late 19th century, and omitted the last part, creating new Seong Dae version. I expect the discussion on Kim Hee Kyeong Jeon will advance further for the restored original.
