≪조선일보≫ 초창기 연재 번역·번안소설과 현진건

Abstract

This paper is the previous study to consider the concept as a writer in the early 1920's. During the year, from Dec. 1920 to Dec. 1921, many translated or adapted narrative texts were published in serially in ≪Chosunilbo≫. Specially serial publication of novels on the front page of ≪Chosunilbo≫ was started from 1920. Dec. To arrange artistic novels on the front page and popular story on the fourth page is an editor's strategy by which the editor consider both advanced readers and common readers at the same time. Such a center of change as above, Hyun, Jin-Gun must have played an important part. That is the point of this paper. Two translated novels and a creative novel are his works which were published in serially on the front page. On the fourth page, we can find an adapted serial story by him. In this paper I also regard two more serial stories on the fourth page as Hyun's adaptation and tried to find its reason. If the previous study in this paper is made up by following studies profoundly, we can find out the concept as a writer producing early modern narrative texts. I wish this paper can be a basis of a chronology or studies on Hyun's early works.
