湖岩全集에 對한 小考 = A Study on the Complete Works of "Ho - am"

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Ho-am is the pen name of "Moon, il-pyong(1885. 5.15.∼ 1939.4.3.)." The complete works of "Ho-am" is an anthology of Ⅲ vols. which was printed firstly on November 10, 1939, with a preface of “Bang, Eung-mo," the vice-president of "Chosun" daily newspaper, and an epilogue of "Lee, Hoon-goo," the vice-president and chief editor, which praised the achievement of “Moon, il-pyong" who had been the editing adviser of the company. The anthology became Ⅳ vols. because of the supplement edition which collected the left manuscripts of “Moon, il-pyong" and was published on November 11, 1945.
“Moon il-pyong" was born in the blooming age of Korean literature but his life was not happy under the colonial rule of Japanese imperialism. Travelling about Tokyo in Japan, Sanghai and Hong kong in China, he learned many things and widened his knowledge. Then, he returned home and became a harbinger to enlighten our people as an educator, historian and pressman. For the enlightenment of our people he wrote many things in Korean compounded with chinese letters, discarding the traditional manner of writing only chinese letters.
He was fluent in English, Japanese and Chinese, which helped him to be erudite in many things, but we must recognize him as a liberal essayist who didn't stick to his erudition. The essay “A history of the relationship between Korea and America during it's fifty from the beginning" is the best of his excellent works. In spite of his short life he wrote many works, which is rare in our country. So, I suggest that he is entitled to take a seat in the history of Korean literature as a scholar of Korean study and Korean literature, and a journalist.
