본고는 게일의 『옥중화』 영역본(1917～1918)을 중심으로 <춘향전>이 번역을 통하여 새롭게 재배치된 역사를 고찰했다. 다카하시의 <춘향전> 번역본(1910)은 속담, 설화와 함께 배치되었다. 여기서 <춘향전>의 언어는 문학어라기보다는 한국의 풍습과 습관을 알려주는 그가 수집한 설화, 속담과 같은 구어에 근접한 것이었다. 이에 따라 <춘향전>의 언어를 모두 직역할 필요가 없었으며 하나의 저본으로 번역의 대상을 확정할 필요가 없었다. 『옥중화』의 출현으로 인하여 <춘향전>의 번역지평은 크게 변모된다. 게일의 영역본은 <춘향전>이 하나의 단행본으로 존재하는 작품, ‘닫혀진 텍스트’로 변모되었으며 직역되어야 하는 텍스트가 되었음을 알려준다. 그러나 이는 일순간에 이루어진 변모가 아니었다. 다카하시와 게일의 번역본 사이에는 일본의 민간단체 및 총독부의 문헌학적 작업이란 前史가 놓여 있었다. 더불어 서구(일본)과 한국이란 지정․역사학적 거리를 전근대 한국과 근대 한국으로 전환해주는 한국의 근대어, 근대문학의 형성과정이 존재했다.
This essay considers the history of <ChoonHyangJeon(春香傳)> that was reassigned with translation focusing on Gale's English version(1917～1918) of <OkJoongHwa(獄中花)>. Takahashi(高橋亨)'s translation(1910) of <ChoonHyangJeon> was arranged with proverbs and fables. In his work, the language of <ChoonHyangJeon> was not exactly the literary language but the words which are close to spoken language including fables and proverbs collected by Takahashi which provide customs and practices of Koreans. On the ground that the languages were based on spoken words, the language of <ChoonHyangJeon> had not needed to be translated word for word, and the original content had not needed to be settled either. However, owing to the appearance of Gale's <OkJoongHwa>, a new prospect of the field of <ChoonHyangJeon>'s translation was opened. Gale's English version of <OkJoongHwa> proved the fact that <ChoonHyanJeon> was not only the piece which should exist in book form but also the work which had been changed as the 'closed text' that should be translated literally. Nevertheless, the change was not made with all of sudden because the context of philological works by Japanese private organizations and government general was placed between Takahashi's work and Gale's translation. Besides, the understanding of the geopolitic-historical difference between western(Japan) and Korea as the one between premodern and modern Korea also affected the context; therefore, modern language and modern literature of Korea has been formed under this circumstance.
