ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to rediscuss the creation period of Shinyubokjeon. Only its old printed book remains today. so it has been estimated that it was created in 1917 when its earliest publication Gwangmunseosi version came out. There is another estimation for its creation period that it was written after the Manchu War(1636) when there was a strong spirit of conquering the foreign enemies. The findings of the present study, however, raise a big possibility that there was its manuscript even before its old printed book, which indicates that there is no confirming the creation period of the novel based on the time of its old printed book. In addition, the novel presents a weakened consciousness of dignity toward Ming and a positive perception of the foreign intruder. So this study estimated that Shinyubokjeon was created in the middle or late 19th century by considering the perceptions of China.
