최근에 이루어진 고전산문 분야의 문헌학적 성과들에 대하여

This study introduces some recent findings made possible by the bibliographical researches in Korean Classical Prose. They are as follows:<BR> First, the myth of Tongmy?ng is distinguished from the myth of Chumong in that the former belongs to Puy? mythology while the latter belongs to Kogury? mythology.<BR> Second, the appearance of the Korean version of S?lgongchanj?n(薛公瓚傳) proves the existence of novels in Korean prior to Honggildongj?n(홍길동전).<BR> Third, the Korean version of Chusangj?n(周生傳) proves that the audience of the grotesque novels expanded to the lower class.<BR> Fourth, Wangsibongj?n(왕시봉전) and Wangsibunggiugi(王十朋奇遇記) are novels that were revised from the Chinese play Hy?ngchgi9荊釵記). Fifth, the bibliographical evidence that Honggildongj?n(홍길동전) should be seen as the first novel in Korean is not well-founded.<BR> Finally, the heroic novel that caused a murder case in late Chosun Dynasty in the cigar shop where the novel was read in front of the audience was Imgy?ng?pj?n(임경업전).
