나손(羅孫) 김동욱(金東旭)의 『국문학사』

Abstract

The History of Korean Literature(國文學史), written by Nason(羅孫) Kim Dong-Wook(金東旭), focuses on the metadiscourse represented by the Motherland and the Nation. And the comparative literature method between Korea and Japan was applied. These two are the most prominent features in the history of Korean literature written by Nason. However, the metadiscourse and comparative literature contradict each other. The fact that the periodization in history, which is the core of literary history, was based on the royal family in the history of Korean literature, was the result of not being able to overcome the contradiction between the two.
 Nason(羅孫) made six basic positions to describe the history of Korean literature. It is ① The concept and category of literature. ② The tradition of literary history. ③ The descriptive attitude of literary history. ④ The method of writing of literary history. ⑤ The view of literary history. ⑥ The direction of literary history. In ①, included Chinese literature in the history of Korean literature according to the concept of literature in the East, and excluded oral literature enjoyed by words. However, Yadam(野談) and SamGukYuSa(三國遺事) were included in the history of Korean literature in that they were recorded in letters. In the tradition of literary history[②] and the direction of literary history[⑥], Nason noted the role of upper-class geniuses who emphasized our words and writings. He also emphasized the need to create a new Koreanology that combines upper-class geniuses and lower-class people who actively enjoyed our words and writings. However, his literary history did not provide such details. The descriptive attitude of literary history[③] and the method of writing of literary history[④] used a comparative literary method based on national pride. The direction of literary history[⑥] tried to mix the classical scholar scholarly spirit with the dynamic Hwarangdo(花郞道). However, Hwarangdo is connected with the Japanese samurai spirit, and the classical scholar scholarly spirit shows limitations in that it could not escape from the ideology that was passed down from Takahashi Doru(高橋亨) and Donam(趙潤濟).
