Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine Lee Kwang-su’s editorials in The Independent Newspaper and to discuss its importance as a precondition for Lee Kwang-su’s writings and ideas during the Shanghai era. Lee Kwang-su’s Shanghai era is one of the weakest periods in research of Lee Kwang-su. Despite the fact that it was a time of many activities in the provisional government in Shanghai, his writing activities and thoughts were not well known in this time. Moreover, even his editorials in The Independent Newspaper, which is the core of his writing activities, is not clearly identified and the target works have not yet been determined. In this article, I determined list of Lee Kwang-su’s articles in The Independent Newspaper by reviewing the pen name “天才”, the character of the editorial column during Lee Kwang-su’s absence, the editorials of seven excluded in the previous research. And based on this, I discussed the status of his editorials in The Independent Newspaper. This discussion will be the basis for further research such as a study of Lee Kwang-su’s writings and ideas during the Shanghai era, as well as a review of ideological continuity and disconnection between activities after returning home from secondary studying abroad.
