선교사 프레더릭 S. 밀러(Frederick S. Miller)의 한국시가론 = A Study on Missionary Rev. Frederick S. Miller`s Perceptions of Korean Poetry

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article aims to analyze the perceptions of Rev. Frederick Scheiblin Miller(Korean name: Min Roa(閔老雅))[1866-1937] on Korean poetry. Miller was a missionary who did missionary work from the late 19th to the early 20th century in Korea. In this writing, his discussions about Korean poetry and its academic significance will be examined. Miller was interested in propagation of Korean hymns. To write lyrics which harmonize with Korean sentiment and rules of versification, he selected feature poems and started analyzing them. He suggested Gasa(歌辭) as a representative form of Korean poetry while James S. Gale and Homer B. Hulbert, who have studied Korean poetry a few years prior to Miller, relatively paid more attention to Sijo(時調). His opinion seemed to be based on the idea that Gasa which develop certain story corresponds with western notion of poetry than Sijo does. Miller analyzed Korean poetry intuitively even without any help of references. His analysis suggests that the couplet is made of a pair of verses, and the stanza is made of a pair of couplets. In other words, expansion was the gist of composition principle of Gasa. Also, he conceptualized the versification structure of Korean poetry. According to him, the composition principle of Korean poetry is not only trochaic which a stressed syllable and an unstressed syllable cross alternately, but also tetrameter which feet are repeated four times every verse. Miller`s study of Korean poetry lacked scholarly impetus for the successional researches from the beginning since its ultimate aim was to support writing Korean hymns. However, unlike Gale and Hulbert, Miller highlighted Gasa as a representative genre of Korean poetry, inquired composition principle and elements of Korean poetry exquisitely, and organized the rules of versification in Korean poetry for the first time. These achievements made his writings acquire a certain level of importance which has not been found in the preceding studies.
