2000년대 역사소설에 나타난 비역사성의 양상 ─ 김훈, 신경숙, 김영하를 중심으로

Abstract

As to a change of historical novels in 2000s, a new name of‘New age historical novel’has been devised. New age historical novel is clearly distinguished from the two trends showed by existing historical novels, that is, 1) a novel showing the interest of history itself, what is called, a kind of historical talks and 2) a novel creating stories metaphorically or allegorically, with a writer own idea or prospect of history reversely projected. Because New age historical novel demonstrates that history is exclusively used as an aesthetic thing not from a dimension not of an idea or interest but from a dimension of the personality and imagination of mutually different style. By the way, the historical novel as what is called New age historical novel is expanding an access to history with different character and taste, so to speak, a type as a novel pursuing for aestheticization rather than is achieving qualitative increase as effective alternatives or supplement of existing historical novels, so that it seems to be more feasible to be classified into an existing historical novel or a subordinate genre of a novel. This paper is intended to consider three aspects of non- historical nature indicated in 2000s historical novels, centering around 『Namhansanseong』(2007) written by Kim Hun, 『Rijin』(2007) written by Sin Gyeong-suk, and 『Black Flower』(2003) written by Kim Young- ha, by condensing the different nature and tastes of 2000s historical novels in the concept of non- historical nature.
