방정환, 다시 문제는 필명이다(2) – 『신청년』 『어린이』의 ‘우촌(雨村)’과 ‘성서인(城西人)’을 중심으로 –

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out that “Seongseoin(城西人)” and “Woochon(雨村)” appeared in Shin Chung Nyeon(新靑年; New Youth) and Eorini (children magazine), which have recently been controversial, are Bang Jeong– hwan’s pen names. The pen name “Woochon” was also used by Kang Young–ho (姜英鎬) and Jin Jong–hyuk(秦宗赫) at the same time. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the pen name by examining the characteristics of the presentation medium and work, and the life and activities of the artist. so it is difficult to determine the pen name by examining the characteristics of the presentation media and works, and the life and activities of the artist. I tracked down the author through the clues of “Woochon of Saekdonghoe(색동회),” the contents and stylistic characteristics of “avoid falsehood” in the Shin Chung Nyeon, and the clues that the Seongseoin(城西人) called himself “the author of the crew cut [Sanggomori]” As a kind of methodology for the study of pen names of modern writers, two methods used to determine Bang Jeong–hwan’s pen name were suggested. First, there is a method of cross–comparison between the pen names used in the process of re–recording the same work. Second, if the pen name specified in the table of contents of the magazine and the pen name specified in the work are different, there is a method of cross–comparison between the pen name specified in the table of contents of advertisement before publication and the pen name specified in the actual work. It is expected that various methods of determining pen names will be shared and proposed, and the research on pen names of many modern writers will be comprehensively reviewed to establish the basis for the study of writers and literary history.
