Translation and Annotation of Chunhyangjeon writtenby Yeo Gyu-hyeong

In the early 20th century, Yeo Gyu-hyeong was commissioned by the Wongaksa(圓覺社) to create the drama Chunhyangjeon written in Classical Chinese. Yeo Gyu-hyeong's Chunhyangjeon is a unique text that shows the contemporary changes in pansori literature and has points worthy of further discussion in several adjacent academic fields. Nonetheless, a complete translation of this work has not yet been done. Therefore this paper preliminarily examined the bibliographic characteristics and genre of Yeo Gyu-hyeong's Chunhyangjeon and performed punctuation, translation, and commentary on the entire text.
