한국 근대 역사문학의 기원과 지형

Abstract

This study is a kind of résumé on Korean modern historical literature. In other words, this report was made as a meta-writing to depict the history of historical literature in genealogy by reconstructing the dynamic relations and their origins among historical novel, historical play, and historical romance. For this, philological consideration was adopted as a study of method. Until now the study on historical literature has obtained excellent results quantitatively as well as qualitatively. However, the approach by bibliology as a key to get a wide view and understanding of early historical literature's features has not been performed enough. In consequence, different views about the origin of historical novel or historical play, confusion over genre's terms, discourse differences among historical literature genres, and the relativity of media to them have not been discussed thoroughly. For these reasons, this study was aimed to raise the necessity of discussion on such subjects and strengthen the basis of it.
