초록
This article examines ways early nineteenth-century missionaries read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a case study of the Western understanding of the Chinese novel. Missionaries’ readings of Chinese novels have been by and large neglected in the history of Sino-Western literary exchange. Their readings are not scholarly and at times inaccurate, but they are still invaluable sources to observe various views from the Western missionaries from pre-modern limitations to imperialism, and comparative literature. Known as the first protestant missionary residing in China, Robert Morrison (1782-1834) did not write an article on Chinese literature, presumably due to his prejudice towards novels and literature in itself. Instead, he made a scholarly note of The Romance in the entry on Zhuge Liang in his Dictionary of the Chinese Language. In my view, it was because Zhuge Liang was close to an ideal figure from the view of the sincere Christian. On the other hand, Karl Gutzlaff (1803-1851) wrote numerous articles on Chinese novels, including The Romance, in The Chinese Repository, a monthly missionary magazine published from 1832 to 1851. He held The Romance in high esteem in terms of historical writing and style. Missionaries’ reviews of The Romance reveal various perspectives, which reflect contemporary Westerners’ ambivalent perspectives on China. Over the course of the nineteenth century, nevertheless, The Romance is gradually viewed more and more favorably. It is therefore concluded that missionaries contributed to the growing popularity of The Romance in the West.
Abstract
This article examines ways early nineteenth-century missionaries read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a case study of the Western understanding of the Chinese novel. Missionaries’ readings of Chinese novels have been by and large neglected in the history of Sino-Western literary exchange. Their readings are not scholarly and at times inaccurate, but they are still invaluable sources to observe various views from the Western missionaries from pre-modern limitations to imperialism, and comparative literature. Known as the first protestant missionary residing in China, Robert Morrison (1782-1834) did not write an article on Chinese literature, presumably due to his prejudice towards novels and literature in itself. Instead, he made a scholarly note of The Romance in the entry on Zhuge Liang in his Dictionary of the Chinese Language. In my view, it was because Zhuge Liang was close to an ideal figure from the view of the sincere Christian. On the other hand, Karl Gutzlaff (1803-1851) wrote numerous articles on Chinese novels, including The Romance, in The Chinese Repository, a monthly missionary magazine published from 1832 to 1851. He held The Romance in high esteem in terms of historical writing and style. Missionaries’ reviews of The Romance reveal various perspectives, which reflect contemporary Westerners’ ambivalent perspectives on China. Over the course of the nineteenth century, nevertheless, The Romance is gradually viewed more and more favorably. It is therefore concluded that missionaries contributed to the growing popularity of The Romance in the West.
