조선후기 가집의 정체성과 신작(新作) 가곡창사

Abstract

The purposes of this study are to examine the identity of individual works and anthology by analyzing the lyrics of new songs and figure out the nature of the song culture during the latter part of Choson. Recent researches on songs and anthology seems to decrease in their interest in lyrics considerably compared with the old researches, but lyrics are texts that should not be neglected in the study of songs and anthology from the latter part of Choson along with compositions and offer important grounds to understand the song culture, which raises a desperate need for ongoing interest in them. There are three reasons behind a focus on the lyrics of new songs in the history of songs and anthology in the latter part of Choson: the first one is to show that the lyrics of new songs demonstrate the development of diverse song cultures during the latter part of Choson; the second one is to examine the characteristic aspects of compilers, surrounding figures, and singing spaces under the compilation background of individual anthology based on the lyrics of new songs; and the final one is to discuss the meanings of the lyrics of new songs themselves and their significance in the history of songs. Under these reasons, the study examined the patterns of the lyrics of new songs in the developmental history of song lyrics during the latter part of Choson and analyzed mainly the works helpful for understanding the identity of anthology.
