「李玉峰行蹟」의 문체적 성격 연구

Abstract

<Lee Ok-bong's Haengjeog> is a Haengjang style prose about Lee Ok-bong, a female Chinese poetry writer. In general, female Haengjang select women who faithfully followed medieval norms and record them in a strictly structured manner (family lineage, records, death, and reviews), so they show similar development patterns in terms of content and form. However, in the case of <Lee Ok-bong's Haengjeog>, even though it is the same Haengjang style prose, there are many parts that cannot be explained by the literary style characteristics of general Haengjang style prose. For example, the meeting and farewell of two characters, Ok-bong and Jo Won, form the central axis of the plot, and in developing the details, dialogue is used to specify the scene. In addition, as the narrative progresses, the conflict between Ok-bong and social ethical norms is revealed, and she is defeated in this process, leading to a tragic ending, and taking these facts together, it can be confirmed that the narrative grammar of the novel is utilized in the describing grammar of <Lee Ok-bong's Haengjeog>. In addition, the fact that <Lee Ok-bong's Haengjeog> was written about 100 years after Ok-bong's death and that, in the 17th century, when the author, Jo Jeong-man (1654-1739), was alive, biographical romance novels were actively created and enjoyed by male intellectuals of the nobility makes it even more connected to the novel. If so, it is judged to be a meaningful work in defining the literary stylistic characteristics to examine the unique descriptive grammatical features of <Lee Ok-bong's Haengjeog>, which are not visible in the general Haengjang style, in relation to the novel genre that started from Jeon(傳). Accordingly, in this paper, we analyzed the characteristics of <Lee Ok-bong's Haengjeog> in terms of content, form, and expression and then examined its literary stylistic characteristics in relation to the novel. Through this, it was found that <Lee Ok-bong's Haengjeog> follows the general format of Haengjang style prose, but the detailed content is close to a novelistic Jeon that focuses on characters or unusual events themselves using novel narrative grammar and focuses on literary figuration (reflecting elements of romance biographical novels). In the end, it can be judged that the descendant Jo Jeong-man wrote <Lee Ok-bong's Haengjeog> by reflecting the novelistic narrative grammar and characteristics with the purpose of introducing a literary artist who dominated the era, rather than describing a stereotypical woman as a member of the family.
