<황석영 소설의 텍스트 확정을 위한 고찰> -초기 소설을 중심으로

Abstract

It is required to actively excavate his lost works first, in order to confirm the texts of Hwang Seok-yeong’s novels. I found that many of Hwang Seok-yeong’s novels were frequently rewritten. Most of the adapted works were conducted when publishing a collective book of works, binding his drafts. The creative motto of Hwang Seok-yeong’s novels in 1970s was not to give up literary characteristics(purposeful aspects) in order to make the novels easy and interesting but not to flatter the public. It is indicated that his literary characteristics were based on ’Objective Realism’. Definitely it is a vexatious thing for researchers to confirm the texts as Hwang Seok-yeong left several variants. It is considered that most of his rewriting novels was desirable in order to effectively communicate the readers and to improve the level of Korean novels. Therefore, I believe that Hwang Seok-yeong is a workmanship author in these aspects.
