Abstract

In this paper, I considered how Kim Ki-dong determined sub-genres of old novel written in Hangeul(Korean), in his old novel research works. When we approach his research about sub-genre, we can find three important works. These are An Introduction of Korean Old Novel(1956), The Theory of Old Novel in Joseon Dynasty(1959), The Research of Korean Old Novel(1981). These three works showed some change of his research about sub-genres of old novel. First, correction of sub-genres' concept and rearrange of works belonging to sub-genres. Second, adding new sub-genres, Third and Fourth, reexamination and renewal of sub-genres. His research made foundation of modern research environment of Korean old novel, especially research of sub-genres which represented academic advances. And he did not afraid of correction of his past research until he died. So he could found structure of research of Korean old novel. He is a history of research of Korean old novel.
