Abstract

The object of this study is to reveal to academic world the book of Jung Manjo’s 「The outline of stylist in modern Joseon Dynasty(朝鮮近代文章家略敍)」 kept in the Donam-moongo(陶南文庫) of Yeungnam University and to define its characteristic. Moojung was appointed as a lecturer of the law major(法門學部) Korean literature department and gave a lecture of Chinese classics when Kyungsung Imperial University was established in 1926. Donam Jo Yoonje was a student of Moojung’s lecture and left the raw lecture material as the type of transcription. Even though Moojung is a betrayer or pro-Japanese group and his comments were used in the negative role such as the colonialism by Professor Dakahishidoru of Kyungsung Imperial University, we need to study the raw lecture material of Moojung’s Chinese literature from starting the modern education. Therefore I introduced the draw-up background and the characters of 「The outline of stylist in modern Joseon Dynasty(朝鮮近代文章家略敍)」, studied the important characteristic of the contents. Moojung explained the private career, style of writing of not only 39 people from Bomanjae Seo Myeongeung in 18C to Soodang Lee Namkyu in early 20C but also 50 people who appeared additionally, and he understood the mutual-successive relationship. For example, he revealed the career and literary characteristic of Noron-sided writers who studied under Master Yeonchun Hong Seokjoo, Bongseo Yoo Shinhwan, Namin-sided writers under Master Seongho Lee Ik, Soonam Ahn Jungbok, Soron-sided writers under Master Wolam Lee Gwangrye, Yeungjae Lee Kunchang. In his book there are many useful things which can be helpful to understand the structure of the Chinese literature history from 18C to 20C. Moojung seems to tried to describe the writers of the latter period of Joseon Dynasty based on balanced view of point, but excluded the normal people and paintings and calligraphic artists and highlight his party people because he thought much of Chineses classics of Confucianism.
