『The Korean Repository』에 소개된 SONG 연구 = A Study on Songs Published in The Korean Repository

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper examines the works of James Scarth Gale (奇一, 1863∼1936) recognized as SONG`s among other translated poems published in Korea`s first monthly English magazine, The Korean Repository. The first Korean literary work introduced into the Western world is known to be Chun Yung`s, Korean Tale, translated by Horace Newton Allen in 1889. Later Korean literary works were introduced into the Western world by Hong Jong-u, H. G. Arnous and others, which were all folk tales or novels. The period when Korean poetry was first translated and introduced into foreign countries was in about 1895. As some works translated by the missionaries, James S. Gale and Homer Bezaleel Hulbert were published in the first monthly English magazine issued in Korea, The Korean Repository, Korean poems began to be known to foreign countries. In particular, Gale translated about 17 poems in Namhuntaepyeongga and introduced them in the form of independent reports in The Korean Repository for years, which were called ODE, LOVE SONG, SONG etc. The Korean poetry as SONG consisting of 4 poems among others attracts attention in that it was published as the opening poetry of the last issue of The Korean Repository in December 1898. Unlike those Korean poems intensively introduced as ODE or LOVE SONG toward 1895 and 1896, those introduced as SONG after almost 2 years had passed reveal differences in themes and significance. The 2 years was a period in which Gale stayed (May 1897-March 1898) at Washington to write and publish Korean Sketches (1898) after he had translated and published The Pilgrim`s Progress and completed the publication of the Korean-English Dictionary (December 1895-1897). In this period, Gale went beyond exploration of Korea, but began to progressively reveal his own view of Korea. His literature like Korean Sketches is part of the result. Thus, Gale in this period selected as subjects of translation those poems showing Koreans` emotions and individualities when he translated Korean poetry. It was the Korean poetry published as SONG in the last issue of The Korean Repository in December 1898 that was a product of the translated poetry that revealed his view of Koreans. Before this period, Gale selected Korean poetry as ODE, as his subject of exploration along with Koreans` life style, and sang Koreans` awareness of love in terms of Korean poetry as LOVE SONG. However, the Korean poetry translated as SONG by Gale almost 2 years later revealed his critical and positive views of Koreans, which originated from his difference as a Western man from Orientals. While based on the Western Orientalist view point from which Occidentals viewed quite primitive Orientals, on the other hand, it was also a part of the course in which his Korean studies was formed which included developmental potentials about Koreans.
