북한의 자료를 통해 재론하는 백석의 생애

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to make a contribution to the overall reconstruction of Baek Seok's life by empirically reinforcing and considering the life of the writer that lived in North Korea. The errors concerning his life were revisited based on a few reports from the previous studies. It's been known that he was the one who initiated the "debate about the literature for preschool children" in North Korea. However, the reexamination confirmed that it was Lee Sun-yeong that initiated the debate and Baek joined the debate later. It's also been told that he was liquidated due to "anti-sectarian struggle." But it's revealed that he returned to the farm participating in the "field dispatch project" as part of his research on actual life. And it's been known that he, who used to write only children's literature, began writing only poetry after returning to the farm. However, it's newly revealed that he still engaged in active activities in the field of children's literature by publishing collections of children's literature. Those newfound facts helped to correct the errors of the previous studies and indicate that careful reexaminations of a writer's life are more essential in literature study.
