1920년대 초기 문학의 재인식 - 기존 논의 검토

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the result and limitation of previous studies on the early 1920s’ Korean literature. And I wish to grope for a new view that elucidates the character of literature at that period. The first tendency of the previous studies is to approach our literature in relation to the Western literature. This tendency of study is, at first, different from the truth of literature at that time. And it is still a question to look upon the Western literature as universality. The second tendency of the previous studies is to estimate our literature in consideration of the socialistic prospect. This tendency of research is also required to be thought twice in relation to the collapse of the socialist state. The third tendency of the previous studies is to regard the literature of this period as the product of our own strength. In fact, this tendency is not different from the former arguments from a opponent point of universal view. In order to approach the early 1920s’ literature justly, at first we have to get out of the logic that the Western literature is universality. We must examine the actual phase that inflowed as a Modern literature at that time. And make clear the meaning of that from a point of our own view.
